Kalaru, It's quite interesting how things can go "Full Circle" land use wise

Over 150 years ago a lot of that land would have been agricultural

And then along came industrialisation

Now Detroit has almost been fully de-industrialised

In fact I have read that community farms are popping up in land that formally had derelict housing upon it

I wouldn't be surprised if larger scale agriculture comes into play as more and more former suburban land is freed up by the Detroit government.

The less suburban spread for them, the less it costs to maintain.
