Workation in Detroit: the essentials
Detroit built the American car industry, gave the world Motown and techno, and then lost most of its population over six decades. Recent estimates of around 649,000 show its first growth since 1950, and the recovery is easy to see in Downtown, Midtown and Corktown, where art deco towers, the restored Michigan Central Station and the QLine streetcar anchor new offices and restaurants. Those districts hold most of the coworking and cafes, while large parts of the city remain thinly settled, with few shops or services. You will want a car and winters are grey. Windsor in Canada lies directly across the river, and Detroit Metropolitan Airport is about 29 km from downtown.
