West Side Story
"One of the world’s largest cities, one of its few 'global' cities, New York has been emblematic of the immense strengths and troubling difficulties of late-20th-century urban environments everywhere. The forces that have been acting upon these cities are myriad, and many are not yet entirely understood. It is clear, though, that the two crucial factors determining New York’s built reality, the organization of its space and the understanding of territory—what belongs to whom—are private capital and public policy." (From the Introduction, New York: Stasis/Opportunity by Ellen Posner.)
