Skyscrapers: Boon or Blight?
March 16, 2017 |
Jason M. Barr (Rutgers, Newark), author of Building the Skyline, provides a new myth-busting history of Manhattan’s skyscrapers, as well as some thoughts on how the buildings could help Gotham meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. Kate Wood, president of the award-winning preservation group Landmark West!, discusses the current protests over the De Blasio administration's rezoning of midtown, and the new “supers” rising in the city. Alex Marshall, Senior Fellow with the Regional Plan Association and Governing columnist, joins and moderates the discussion.
