Summary
"This is a story of profound urban change over decades of time in a symbolic space celebrated as a worldwide phenomenon. Drawing on the history, sociology, and political economy of the place, Times Square Remade examines, twenty years later, how the public-private transformation of 42nd Street at Times Square impacted the entertainment district and adjacent neighborhoods, particularly Hell's Kitchen.
