Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplementary Report on the Disposal of New York's Sewage: Critical Report on the New York Sewer Plan Commission on the Plans of Main Drainage and Sewage Disposal Proposed for New York by the Metropolitan Sewage Commission and Reply Thereto; June 30, 1914 Honorable Board of Estimate and Apportionment, City of New York: Gentlemen - The Chief Engineer of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and the Consulting Engineers of the Boroughs, constituting the New York Sewer Plan Commission, have been asked to criticize the plan of the Metropolitan Sewerage Com mission for protecting the harbor of New York from pollution. In the short time available1 it has not been possible to go into such detail as would be de sirable, but we simply have described briefly the scheme as we understand it in its latest form, stated in what respects it is concurred in by us and presented a frank statement of criticisms and suggestions for alternative schemes. The Metropolitan Sewerage Commission, as at present constituted, is composed of five members and has been employed continuously for a period of six years at an expense to the City of about in an endeavor to find the most suitable solution of this problem. Previous to its appointment, the New York Bay Pollution Commission and an earlier Met ropolitan Sewerage Commission had together been engaged upon the same problem for five years. It is reasonable to suppose that in this period of ap proximately eleven years every question relating to this problem has been carefully considered and that all investigations which have a bearing on it have been made. It is understood that in addition to the voluminous reports which have been published, a mass of data has been collected which has neither been published nor otherwise made accessible? A formidable array of scientific counsel has been employed. Each is an expert in his own Specialty and his opinion upon subjects within the range of his particular investigations is undoubtedly worthy of respect. A number of these experts are proies sors of chemistry and bacteriology and one is a doctor of medicine, but only three or four are sani tary engineers and experts who are fully equipped to advise upon the whole problem in all its scientific features.3 Two of the latter, whose advice is of especial value, were employed only a few months ago.

Download or read book New York Recentered written by Kara Murphy Schlichting and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of New York City’s urban development often centers on titanic municipal figures like Robert Moses and on prominent inner Manhattan sites like Central Park. New York Recentered boldly shifts the focus to the city’s geographic edges—the coastlines and waterways—and to the small-time unelected locals who quietly shaped the modern city. Kara Murphy Schlichting details how the vernacular planning done by small businessmen and real estate operators, performed independently of large scale governmental efforts, refigured marginal locales like Flushing Meadows and the shores of Long Island Sound and the East River in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The result is a synthesis of planning history, environmental history, and urban history that recasts the story of New York as we know it.

Download or read book Gotham Unbound written by Ted Steinberg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 PROSE Award for US History A “fascinating, encyclopedic history…of greater New York City through an ecological lens” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)—the sweeping story of one of the most man-made spots on earth. Gotham Unbound recounts the four-century history of how hundreds of square miles of open marshlands became home to six percent of the nation’s population. Ted Steinberg brings a vanished New York back to vivid, rich life. You will see the metropolitan area anew, not just as a dense urban goliath but as an estuary once home to miles of oyster reefs, wolves, whales, and blueberry bogs. That world gave way to an onslaught managed by thousands, from Governor John Montgomerie, who turned water into land, and John Randel, who imposed a grid on Manhattan, to Robert Moses, Charles Urstadt, Donald Trump, and Michael Bloomberg. “Weighty and wonderful…Resting on a sturdy foundation of research and imagination, Steinberg’s volume begins with Henry Hudson’s arrival aboard the Half Moon in 1609 and ends with another transformative event—Hurricane Sandy in 2012” (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland). This book is a powerful account of the relentless development that New Yorkers wrought as they plunged headfirst into the floodplain and transformed untold amounts of salt marsh and shellfish beds into a land jam-packed with people, asphalt, and steel, and the reeds and gulls that thrive among them. With metropolitan areas across the globe on a collision course with rising seas, Gotham Unbound helps explain how one of the most important cities in the world has ended up in such a perilous situation. “Steinberg challenges the conventional arguments that geography is destiny….And he makes the strong case that for all the ecological advantages of urban living, hyperdensity by itself is not necessarily a sound environmental strategy” (The New York Times).

Dunwell presents a rich portrait of the Hudson and of the visionary people whose deep relationship with the river inspired changes in American history and culture.
