"New York 2000 is the culmination of an award-winning series documenting the history of architecture and urbanism in New York City from the Civil War to the present. The previous books, New York 1880, New York 1900, New York 1930, and New York 1960, provide comprehensive coverage on the architects and urban planners who defined New York since the mid-nineteenth century. This volume chronicles milestones in the city's history over the past thirty years, with more than 1,800 color illustrations to complement the text. As the world's financial and cultural capital, New York demands the best in innovative architectural design, balancing the pressure to build with the need to preserve the historic fabric of the city. Robert A.M. Stern and his colleagues David Fishman and Jacob Tilove examine the architectural response to the city's every-changing financial climate and land use policies, such as the rise and fall of the real estate market, the impact of the designation of historic districts and new zoning on development, and the emergence of new commercial and residential centers. Featuring insightful discussions on the development of Battery Park City, the rebirth of Harlem and Times Square, the creation of the cultural precinct around the new MoMA, and the reclaiming of the waterfront along the East and Hudson Rivers as recreational parkland, New York 2000 documents ongoing commitments to innovation and renovation and celebrates the achievements of internationally recognized architects, including Sir Norman Foster, Cesar Pelli, Richard Meier, and Renzo Piano. The survey is organized geographically, beginning in Lower Manhattan and moving north through Harlem and to the outer boroughs including the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. Woven throughout is commentary on the repercussions of September 11, 2001. New York 2000 is a thorough study of how a world-class metropolis preserves, showcases, and constructs an architectural heritage that endures over the course of two centuries."--Jacket.
