Privately Owned Public Space by Jerold S Kayden
In New York - wie auch in vielen anderen Gro st dten - w chst die Zahl der ffentlichen Pl tze, die Privatpersonen geh ren und auch privat betrieben werden. Als Gegenleistung f r die Schaffung dieser Pl tze und Einrichtungen, erhalten die Erbauer von der Stadt Sonderkonzessionen (in der Regel f r die Geb udeh he). Dieses Buch dokumentiert und beschreibt anhand von Fotos, Lagepl nen und Karten ber 300 ffentliche Pl tze in New York, die in privater Hand sind. Zu den bekanntesten z hlen u.a. das Trump Tower Atrium, die Sony Arkade und die Citicorp Mall. Jede Beschreibung enth lt Informationen zu Gr e, Fertigstellungsdatum, Architekten/Landschaftsarchitekten, Geb udeeigent mer, ffnungszeiten und Lage. Zu den Abbildungen geh rt jeweils ein Foto sowie eine ma stabsgetreue Zeichnung, die verdeutlichen, wie sich der Bau in die angrenzende Geb ude-/Stra enlandschaft einpa t. (y05/00)"The Introduction to Privately Owned Private Space is a history of New York City's attempts at planning and zoning beginning in 1916 and continuing to the present. The detail of the history is sharp while not talking down to the novice, and the politics is fascinating." (ArchitectureWeek.com, April 25, 2001)
"The book should also appeal to any enthusiast of urban spaces anywhere in the world, because the lessons learned in the "Big Apple" are applicable anywhere. This is a history book, an incredibly detailed map of the New York City, and a lesson in civics all rolled into one." (F.L. Andrew Padian, ArchitectureWeek.com)
"This long overdue collaborative effort among urban planning professor Jerold Kayden, New York City's Department of Planning, and the Municipal Art Society, and involving dozens of researchers, is one of the most important books to be published about New York City in years.... Along the same lines, in today's publishing environment, most commercial trade publishers would not likely be interested, and too many high-quality, general interest, New York City-related titles must vie for the limited resources of a few university presses or very small publishing houses that do not have the resources to take on this kind of project -- congratulations to John Wiley for publishing this book." (Bradley Beach Books, 9/01)
