A History of Housing in New York City Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you can only buy one book about housing in the USA (this isn't just for those interested in NYC), this is the one to buy. It makes terrific reading just as an evolving narrative -- how many books on housing can one say that about? From the earliest dwellings to highrise towers in the park, the book tackles important social and design trends. Robert Moses of course comes in for a bow but all that underpinned his vast reshaping of NYC is detailed. You want floor plans? It's got floorplans galore. My one quibble is that it ends in the early 90s and so much as happened since then. Time to write a companion book, Professor Plunz.
