Using examples from architecture, film, literature, and the visual
arts, this wide-ranging book examines the place and significance of
New York City in the urban imaginary between 1890 and 1940. In
particular, Imagining New York City considers how and why certain
city spaces - such as the skyline, the sidewalk, the slum, and the
subway - have come to emblematize key aspects of the modern urban
condition. In so doing, the book also considers the ways in which
cultural developments in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries set the stage for more recent responses to a variety of
urban challenges facing the city, such as post-disaster recovery,
the renewal of urban infrastructure, and the remaking of public
space.
