In What Goes Up he charts the dehumanising regimes of mayors Bloomberg and De Blasio that created a city of glittering towers and increasing inequality. He looks at what has happened to Ground Zero, as a place of memory has been reconstructed by "staritects" and turned into malls. The city, he suggests, has to be reimagined from the street up on a human scale, to develop new ways to revitalise neighbourhoods Alongside these essays on New York, Sorkin also brings his lifetime's experience as an architect to bear. He talks of the joy of observing a city in order to understand it. Why a young designer must learn to draw by hand rather than only use a computer. There are also personal encounters with some of the greatest names who have changed the city. Sorkin gets lost in Rio with Zaha Hadid; talks about the old Bronx with Marshall Berman; and gets on the wrong side of Daniel Libeskind"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Architecture $x Human factors. 650 0 $a Architecture and society $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a City planning $x Social aspects $z New York. $z New York. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Buildings, structures, etc. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Urban. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ARCHITECTURE / Urban & Land Use Planning. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ARCHITECTURE / History / Contemporary (1945-). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Architecture and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813574 650 7 $a Architecture $x Human factors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813457 650 7 $a Buildings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840962 650 7 $a City planning $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862253 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605014228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1148A096688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
