Development of Manufacturing (Detroit vs. New York))
While New York City was the capital of many kinds of consumer goods manufacturing such as clothing, furniture and so forth, Detroit became automobile capital in twentieth century. By that time Ford, General Motors and Crysler were considered as three big automakers. When industry moved out of the urban city, most of white collar workers come after to be near their jobs. At the same time, the development of automobile industry brought enormous number of immigrants and migrants into Detroit in beginning of twentieth century. One another reason that people started to move to suburban is many american car companies produced cheaper one, so that even low wage job workers could afford to get one. While people in New York City tended to use public transportation , for instance subway or streetcars, people in other suburban started to drive a car to the city for work.
