Summary:

New York est assurément une "ville d'art", par les collections exceptionnelles de ses musées, par sa place sur la scène artistique mondiale et par son rôle éminent en matière de création. Mais, si elle est perçue comme une "ville d'art" unique, c'est bien parce qu'elle condense, dans sa matière bâtie même, tous les registres de l'invention architecturale, et parce que ses paysages urbains n'ont cessé de provoquer écrivains, artistes, photographes et cinéastes. Ce livre porte ainsi sur chacune des composantes du paysage urbain et sur leur interaction, restituées dans le cours des quatre siècles de son histoire. Enfin, l'histoire des quartiers et des lieux principaux de la ville et leur lecture aujourd'hui sont irriguées par les innombrables récits de voyage publiés depuis le XVIIIe siècle et par les classiques de la littérature américaine.
