In \u003ci\u003eWhat Goes Up\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003eAlongside 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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619413676190,"sku":"UBD-9781786635150","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781786635150.jpg?v=1773898879","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781786635150","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
