Over the last 500 years, a range of innovative, responsive, and
pragmatic civic actions have helped to generate, define, and
maintain New York City's global significance. From early on much of
these actions were responses to population density and the
accompanying challenges for health and well-being. Approaching its
next growth cycle, New York is again amid important urban
transformations that demand new urban and architectural models that
allow for an open city to balance gentrification, and to address a
lack of public spaces, social infrastructure, and affordable
housing. These challenges and their architectural and urban
implications are the focus of Next New York. The book captures the
city's current momentum through the lens of three important urban
actions: sharing, connecting, and partnering. Through 10 essays
from scholars and practitioners working on pressing urban issues, a
photographic essay portraying New York during COVID-19, and more
than 35 design projects from graduate studios at the University of
Virginia's School of Architecture, Next New York reflects,
comments, and speculates on New York City's capacity to bring about
new conceptions of city-making and collective cohabitation through
architecture.
