The decline of the automobile industry in Detroit can be attributed to a number of different factors. The most prominent of these include the increasing globalization of the car industry, the rising cost of manufacturing, and the entrance of foreign manufacturers who could offer lower prices than American-made cars. Additionally, technological advancements in transportation and workplaces, and the general move away from the city center has impacted the demand of Detroit-made cars. Factors such as these combined have led to a sharp decline in the positive economic impact that Detroit's automobile industry once had.
