It's easy to find examples of undeveloped spaces within the city limits of Detroit because it's density has always been fairly low by modern urban standards. The surface area of Detroit is larger than that of San Francisco, Boston, and Manhattan combined, but the population is obviously lower.

The open space in Detroit seems fundamentally different from, say, South San Jose or the mountain ranges in LA, because of the presence of formerly-occupied urban ruins.
