You would probably be fine, but, to me, it's crazy to come to Detroit without a car. You will, at least, be using Ubers everywhere.
The attractions in Detroit are VERY spread out, and there are lots of empty spaces in-between. You could, hypothetically, walk everywhere, but they will be long, lonely walks, and there could be potential safety issues, especially with wild dogs (I wouldn't worry so much about people, at least in the core).
I also think it's kinda odd to pick Detroit as a destination if it's your first time in the Eastern U.S., but who knows, we all have different tastes. What would be the specific appeal of walking around Detroit?
