Detroit: City on the Move
A promotional film made for the city of Detroit, MI in 1965, shortly before the 1967 riot and its economic decline.

Thanks for posting the video, it’s a neat time capsule of Detroit :) Although the stickler in me wants to say that the economic decline of Detroit started long before the ‘67 riots, which would be my guess as to why the video emphasizes the growing “renaissance” of the city and its friendly people (crime had been growing problem when this film would have been made).  </sticklerness>
