Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. The spectacularly successful transformation of Times Square has become amodel for other cities. From its beginning as Longacre Square, Times Square'scommercialism, signage, cultural diversity, and social tolerance have been deeplyembedded in New York City's psyche. Its symbolic role guaranteed that any plan forits renewal would push the hot buttons of public controversy: free speech, property-taking through eminent domain, development density, tax subsidy, andhistoric preservation. In Times Square Roulette, Lynne Sagalyn debunks the myth of anovernight urban miracle performed by Disney and Mayor Giuliani, to tell the far morecomplex and commanding tale of a twenty-year process of public controversy, nonstoplitigation, and interminable delay. She tells how the troubled execution of theoriginal redevelopment plan provided a rare opportunity to rescript it. And timingwas all: the mid-1990s saw rising international corporate interest in the city as amecca for mass-market entertainment and synergistic merchandising. Sagalyn detailsthe complex relationship between planning and politics and the role of market forcesin shaping Times Square's redevelopment opportunities. She shows how policy waswedded to deal making and how persistent individuals and groups forgedboth. The compelling story of the politics, policies, and personalities that made Times Square's revitalization possible. Wrapped in Brodart dust jacket protector. Book has minor shelf wear along bottom edge.
