Description

Summary

When the locals and the rest of the world say 'New York', they mean Manhattan, a crowded island of commercial districts and residential neighborhoods, skyscrapers and tenements, fabulously rich and abjectly poor cheek by jowl. This title tells the story of the dreams that inspired the changes in the landscape and the problems that eluded solution.
