Reviews
An evocative and insightful reading of this endlessly mutable city . PD Smith, The Guardian This wonderfully rich and engaging book focuses on a transformative period in New York City's history to explore how and why it has so thoroughly captured modern urban imaginations. David Pinder, author of Visions of the City: Utopianism, Power and Politics in Twentieth-Century Urbanism An exciting and compelling book, Imagining New York City provides a major contribution to the study of cultural Modernism and urban visual culture. With a richly drawn narrative and a deft interweaving of texts and images, this is clearly a first class writer at work. Joseph Heathcott, Associate Professor of Urban Studies at The New School and President of the Society for American City and Regional Planning History Drawing on a rich array of literary, visual, and urbanistic materials, Christoph Lindner offers an intellectually playful, theoretically incisive guide to the cultural history of modern New York. Taking us up skylines and down sidewalks, Lindner makes it clear that imagining New York has been a crucial way of understanding urban modernity. David Scobey, author of Empire City: The Making and Meaning of the New York City Landscape
