破坏的大都市

Cities are places where people move to achieve their dreams. Sometimes, those dreams are for the city itself. 我们之前已经详细介绍过了, there’s been no shortage of fantastical and monumental ideas throughout the history of city-making. And few cities have captured people’s imaginations like New York City. 家里有一个 richest arrays of urban architecture worldwide, it is remarkable to consider what hasn’t been built there. 卫报详细报道 一本新书， 纽约从未建成要做到这一点. 虽然有些想法, like an airport in Manhattan that takes up 50 blocks, and bridges between skyscrapers, 今天看起来完全过时了, others have parallels to projects that were later built. Would New York have built elevated rail lines, and eventually the 高铁, without a proposal for a pneumatic elevated railway? 的双曲面, a 108-storey tower above a transit hub, proposed by the New York Central Railroad chairman, can be viewed as an early version of TOD, while its form isn’t so different from Santiago Calatrava’s 把躯干. Even the radical idea of adding 50 square miles of city land to Upper New York Bay has been realized in another form. Where else but in the capital city of the country who sold New York to British: Amsterdam. Without these unbuilt dreams, what would our cities look like today?
