Résumé:
In the popular imagination, the controversial 1963 demolition of Pennsylvania Station gave birth to New York City’s historic preservation movement. As the author reveals, however, historic preservation has been a persistent force in the development of New York since the 1890s, when the city’s leading politicians, planners, and architects first recognized the need to preserve the rapidly evolving city’s past. Rich with archival research, this book documents the emergence of historic preservation in New York at the turn of the twentieth century. Between 1890 and 1920, preservationists saved and restored buildings, parks, and monuments throughout the city’s five boroughs that represented continuity with the past.

Résumé:
L'usine, où suaient nos grands-parents, s'est changée au musée. La bibliothèque, rebaptisée médiathèque, brille comme un diamant au coin de la rue. Les vieux quartiers, où l'on hésitait naguère à s'aventurer, sont des centres commerciaux à ciel ouvert. Les ronds-points sont nos arcs de triomphe... En pleine révolution, la géographie de nos villes bouscule nos repères familiers. L'école, la mairie, la halle ne se ressemblent plus. L'architecture n'affirme rien, elle interroge. Jean-Louis André donne ici une réponse en images, retraçant une histoire originale de l'urbanisme.
