Book Synopsis Building the Skyline by : Jason M. Barr
Download or read book Building the Skyline written by Jason M. Barr and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manhattan skyline is one of the great wonders of the modern world. But how and why did it form? Much has been written about the city's architecture and its general history, but little work has explored the economic forces that created the skyline. In Building the Skyline, Jason Barr chronicles the economic history of the Manhattan skyline. In the process, he debunks some widely held misconceptions about the city's history. Starting with Manhattan's natural and geological history, Barr moves on to how these formations influenced early land use and the development of neighborhoods, including the dense tenement neighborhoods of Five Points and the Lower East Side, and how these early decisions eventually impacted the location of skyscrapers built during the Skyscraper Revolution at the end of the 19th century. Barr then explores the economic history of skyscrapers and the skyline, investigating the reasons for their heights, frequencies, locations, and shapes. He discusses why skyscrapers emerged downtown and why they appeared three miles to the north in midtown-but not in between the two areas. Contrary to popular belief, this was not due to the depths of Manhattan's bedrock, nor the presence of Grand Central Station. Rather, midtown's emergence was a response to the economic and demographic forces that were taking place north of 14th Street after the Civil War. Building the Skyline also presents the first rigorous investigation of the causes of the building boom during the Roaring Twenties. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the boom was largely a rational response to the economic growth of the nation and city. The last chapter investigates the value of Manhattan Island and the relationship between skyscrapers and land prices. Finally, an Epilogue offers policy recommendations for a resilient and robust future skyline.
Book Synopsis Shaping the Skyline by : Peter Hellman
Download or read book Shaping the Skyline written by Peter Hellman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-09-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Julien Studley is one of the great leaders in the real estate industry. He built a thriving business based upon hard work, creativity, integrity, and skill. In a time when the news is full of corporate scandal and executive excess, it is gratifying to read Julien Studley's story-he has always focused on doing the right thing. As Julien's career and life amply attest, how you conduct business is integral to your success. Julien's talent is unique and his story inspirational." --Jerry I. Speyer President and CEO Tishman Speyer Properties "An intimate portrait of Julien Studley, a man whose keen intellect, ambition, and courage have made him into one of the most successful business leaders of our time-a true real estate visionary." --Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-MO) Julien Studley's story is much more than a standard corporate biography. It is, in fact, a riveting tale of late twentieth century corporate America, a time in which America's global business dominance was built on the vision and sacrifice of individualists who were strong, stubborn, and above all, resourceful. Shaping the Skyline examines Studley's long and distinguished career and reveals his unique approach to real estate, negotiating strategies, leadership, and management that have led him to create one of the most successful commercial real estate companies in the nation.

Book Synopsis Regional Visionaries and Metropolitan Boosters by : Matthew Dalbey
Download or read book Regional Visionaries and Metropolitan Boosters written by Matthew Dalbey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-06-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dalbey (Jackson State U.) hypothesizes that US regional parkways of the 1920s and 1930s emerged out of two conflicting visions of regional planning, and examines how the conflict impacted the development of Skyline Drive in Virginia and the proposed Green Mountain Parkway in Vermont. The regional view, he says, coalesced around the work of Benton MacKaye, Lewis Mumford, and the Regional Planning Association of America; and the metropolitan view grew out of market-oriented economic boosterism efforts, and was supported by Thomas Adams and the Regional Plan of New York and its Environs. He also shows how the tussle between vision and reality--social reform or economic optimization--continues to inform planning. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
