An exploration into what America was, is, and can become through the lens of the rapidly changing American metropolis From its origins as a primitive Dutch outpost to the sprawling urban complex it is today, the defining characteristic of New York has been constant, dramatic, and rapid change.

By understanding the history of New York, we obtain a vital sense of what America was, is, and can become.
