Описание
New York is considered the epitome of a metropolis. Since its establishment 400 years ago as the entry point to the American continent, the pulsating large city has developed into the financial and creative center of the world today. At the beginning of the 19th century, the city was growing faster than ever before and thus in 1811, the town planners decided to cover the entire island of Manhattan, only the southern portion of which was developed, with a grid-pattern street network, which, at the same time, forms the basis for the city's structure today. The only exception was then and still is: Broadway. The first skyscrapers were built at the beginning of the 20th century. They became the symbol of the city, like the Wool-worth Building and, above all later, the Empire State Building. The mean-spirited even say that this vibrant city has been living off of its cultural and architectonic legacy since the 1950s, such as, for example the Seagram Building, which was built based upon blueprints by the architect Mies van der Rohe or also the UN Headquarters, and that since then hardly any innovative, futuristic and daring projects have been realized.
