Paperback. Condition: New. New York City: The Basics offers an accessible look at the dynamic and diverse hub of New York City. Written in a clear, engaging style, the book discusses geographic, historic, demographic, socioeconomic, housing, and governmental aspects of the Big Apple.Since the mid-20th century, New York City has been competing against other global and major cities, including London and Tokyo, primarily driven by global financial and securities markets.

The chapters touch on different topics, from the history to the demography and immigration, the economy, housing, government and governance, and the city's exceptionalism, ending with an overview of the five boroughs of the city.This book serves as a valuable guide for undergraduate and graduate students in geography, urban studies, urban affairs, and urban planning, and would be an excellent resource for anyone planning a field trip to New York City.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Shows how New York has been a national pioneer in developing affordable, equitable, and comprehensive housing policy In Housing in New York City, Katrin B. Anacker explores how New York City's policy innovations have impacted the trajectory of a nation. Drawing on historical, policy, and data analysis, she highlights New York City's greatest successes across all five boroughs, including its early popularization of affordable housing and the birth of the modern high-rise.From the Plan of 1811, which established Manhattan's rectangular street grids, to the 1916 Building Zone Resolution, the first comprehensive zoning ordinance in America, Anacker takes us through many of these key moments in New York City's history, and how its impact was felt beyond the city's limits. She shows us how policy innovations - like the affordable housing movement - not only improved quality of life for New Yorkers, but also made New York City a national role model to other cities, resulting in many additional national, state, and local laws, policies, and programs.Ultimately, she emphasizes the contrast between the New York City of yesterday, and today, where exorbitant rents and gentrification threaten its historical role as a leader in housing policy. Housing in New York City provides a comprehensive discussion of this history and calls upon policymakers to continue innovating to keep the Big Apple not only affordable, but to preserve its legacy in housing.…
