Abstract
The visitor’s view of the New York Urban Region is often confined to the Central Business District of Manhattan. The nine square-mile area running from Central Park to the Battery is the size of Kennedy Airport where many of the visitors entered the city. Long Island was ripe for development after World War II. Its highways had been built as planned in the Regional Plan Association’s 1929 Plan of New York and Environs and federal financing policies encouraged new home construction, which the Island’s sandy potato fields accommodated easily. The New York Urban Region is home to nearly 20 million people. In recent years, the great bulk of Manhattan’s lost jobs were in manufacturing and retailing-wholesaling. The basic concept of The Second Regional Plan has been adopted in the land use plan of the Tristate Regional Planning Commission, the region’s official planning agency which was formed in the early 1960s.
