Detroit is the largest city in Michigan and the automotive capital of the world, home to approximately 640,000 city residents and 4.4 million in the metro area. It operates on Eastern Time (EST/EDT). Detroit is where the modern automobile industry was born — Henry Ford established his first car plant here and perfected the moving assembly line at the Highland Park plant in 1913, revolutionising manufacturing globally. The 'Big Three' — Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis (formerly Chrysler) — are all headquartered in metro Detroit. Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013 (the largest municipal bankruptcy in US history at $18–20 billion), but has undergone significant recovery since. Detroit is also the birthplace of Motown Records (founded 1959 by Berry Gordy), which produced an extraordinary roster including Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, The Four Tops, and Diana Ross — transforming American popular music. The city is also famous for its techno music scene.
