Dangerous, filthy, and falling apart, garbage piled on its streets and entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble; New Yorks terrifying, if liberating, state of nature in 1978 also made it the capital of American culture. Over the next thirty-plus years, though, it became a different placekinder and meaner, richer and poorer, more like America and less like what it had always been. New York, New York, New York, Thomas Dyjas sweeping account of this metamorphosis, shows it wasnt the work of a single policy, mastermind, or economic theory, nor was it a morality tale of gentrification or crime. Instead, three New Yorks evolved in turn. After brutal retrenchment came the dazzling Koch Renaissance and the Dinkins years that left the citys liberal traditions battered but laid the foundation for the safe streets and dotcom excess of Giulianis Reformation in the 90s. Then the planes hit on 9/11. The shaky city handed itself over to Bloomberg who merged City Hall into his personal empire, launching its Reimagination. From Hip Hop crews to Wall Street bankers, D.V. to Jay-Z, Dyja weaves New Yorkers famous, infamous, and unknownYuppies, hipsters, tech nerds, and artists; community organizers and the immigrants who made this a truly global placeinto a narrative of a city creating ways of life that would ultimately change cities everywhere. With great success, though, came grave mistakes. The urbanism that reclaimed public space became a means of control, the police who made streets safe became an occupying army, technology went from a means to the end. Now, as anxiety fills New Yorkers hearts and empties its public spaces, its clear that what brought the city backproximity, density, and human exchangeare what sent Covid-19 burning through its streets, and the price of order has come due. A fourth evolution is happening and we must understand that the greatest challenge ahead is the one New York failed in the first three: The cures must not be worse than the disease. Exhaustively researched, passionately told, New York, New York, New York is a colorful, inspiring guide to not just rebuilding but reimagining a great city.
