I suspect that Detroit was a Model City. Boy, that worked out well.
“Detroit was one of the largest Model Cities projects. Mayor Jerome P Cavanaugh (Mayor 1962—69) was the only elected official to serve on Johnson’s task force. Detroit received widespread acclaim for its leadership in the program, which used $490 million to try to turn a nine-square-mile section of the city (with 134,000 inhabitants) into a model city.[4]”
