Sagalyn, Lynne B. Times Square Roulette: Remaking the City Icon
The MIT Press 2002 0262194627 / 9780262194624 Hardcover Near fine Near fine Hardcover
New. Remainder mark. Near fine in publisher's very slightly rubbed cloth in like dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Lynne B. Sagalyn, director of the MBA real estate program at Columbia University's business school, explores the underpinnings of New York's concerted mid-1990s gentrification efforts in Times Square Roulette: Remaking the City Icon. Alongside the usual suspects Giuliani, Disney, the ousted peep shows and porn venues Sagalyn places Koch, the Broadway Association, "maverick realtor" Irving Maidman, Frederic S. Papert and his not-for-profit 42nd Street Development Corp., and a host of other major and minor players in the continual plans for redeveloping Times Square. By the 1960s, '70s and '80s, the area had become a blatant symbol of the decline of urban America, a far cry from its glory days in the 1920s as the pinnacle of theatrical couture. On the other hand, when redevelopment plans threatened too drastic a face-lift, critics waxed nostalgic about "the symbolic soul of New York." The jumble of symbolisms, politics, policies and business plans characterizing 20th-century 42nd Street has never before been subject to such thorough and perspicacious scrutiny. 175 illus., 25 in color. ... Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. ... "Sagalyn has a terrific story to tell, and she tells it with a remarkable mix of local color and analytic sophistication. She has a deep understanding of politics, economics, corporate and public finance, city planning, and urban design; and she integrates them gracefully throughout." - Alan Altschuler, Director, Taubman Center for State and Local Government, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University... "... Magisterially copious..." -- James Gardner, New York Sun... "... masterly ... full of eye-opening material." -- Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker... "If, as Lynne Sagalyn asserts, 'the deal is in the details,' then this book is the real deal." -- Alexander J. Reichl, Architecture
