The ecological complex identifies the relationship between four concepts, known as “POET”, population, organization, environment, and technology. Detroit was affected in many different ways by POET between 1900 and 1910 and also between 2000 and 2010. Population refers to the number of people or growth in cities. Between 1900 and 1910 the population of Detroit grew rapidly because of the advancement in technology at the time. The population was around 465,766 citizens around 1910. Around 2000 the population continued to increase and was around 951,270 citizens, but started to decrease around 2010 because technology was advancing and the need for people to work was decreasing.
