Date: 2024-02-29 02:15 am (UTC)Thank you for the information! I actually read The 99% Invisible City a few years back on the recommendation of Adam Savage (of Mythbusters fame) and mostly enjoyed it. I tried the podcast and couldn't quite get into it - I seem to want more visual with my audio. But I will give the Power Broker editions a shot.
Robert Moses is such a divisive figure - what he did to the Bronx is beyond criminal, but on the other hand, the 1923 World's Fair? It made Queens a livable borough. And so much of our parks here wouldn't exist without Robert Moses. There was a documentary I watched on him on one of the local PBS stations - NYC Media - that was so incredibly fascinating. It was what prompted me to pick up the book in the first place. It might be the American Experience documentary (but I'm not sure).
