From the skyscrapers and the lofts which occupy the brick buildings in Downtown New York, to the new elevated gardens on the urban map and the planned ecological constructions which form part of the scheme to convert New York into a green city by 2030, this book presents the transformations which are taking place in the metropolis. It also features the neo-Gothic, Art Deco and Rationalism buildings which have contributed to molding the booming, revolutionary character that represents one of the most vibrant cities on the planet.
