New York is always cooking up something new. Halle and Tiso home in on that city s Far West Side, site of three recent urban cultural developments: creating, in Chelsea, the largest commercial art gallery district in the world, turning a disused above-ground rail line into the High Line (now the city s most visited park), and wrestling with big plans to develop the Hudson Yards (the largest unbuilt site in Manhattan) and renovating Penn Station (to become Moynihan Station, the busiest train station in America). The Bloomberg Administration sees all of this as key elements of an urban model that balances growth and preservation. A mix of old and new buildings, advocated by pioneer urbanist Jane Jacobs as a key to vibrant neighborhoods, turns out to be in accord with the concept of a layered city advanced by contemporary architects.
