This is truly an amazing photo: The Long Island Motor Parkway (AKA Vanderbilt Parkway) in 1908 with the Manhattan skyline in the background. Built in 1908 and running from Queens to Ronkonkoma, Long Island, historians have called it the first road in the country built specifically for automobiles. The privately built toll road featured overpasses and bridges with a toll of $2 when it opened – limiting the roadway for wealthy men wishing to race their new cars. The parkway was closed and absorbed by the state in 1938. Part of the trail still exists as a bike trail in Queens. #longislandhistory #brooklyn #longislandmotorparkway #longisland #brooklyn #robertmoses #vanderbiltparkway #longislandexpressway #lie #bqe #brooklynqueensexpressway #nyhistory #hychistory #urbanism #urbanplanning #thepowerbroker #architecture #urbandesign #cityplaning #urbanplanning #vanderbiltmansion #ronkonkoma (at Queens, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfrN-ZKOFWz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

. Location | Stuyvesant Town, New York, USA . Le Corbusier has described New York as a city “utterly devoid of harmony.” He wasn’t impressed by the tall towers, and stated that they were a product of an inferiority complex. He believed the city would do better by building buildings that don't outdo each other, and which were more or less identical. . Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, also known as Stuy Town, was planned in 1942 as a post-war affordable housing project for war veterans and is an early example of a towers in a park design in New York. The idea of the design was to create a country within a city, and was created by the Robert Moses. The design has moreover resemblance to Le Corbusier's Radiant City; separating pedestrians from cars and commercial spaces. . The town contains 110 cruciform-like buildings with 11,250 apartments. Only 25% of the area is occupied by the 110 buildings, while the rest is open space. . #stuyvesant #stuytown #petercoopervillage #newyork #usa #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #cityplanning #architecture #landscapearchitecture #aerialview #aerialphotography #drone #residential #radiantcity #robertmoses #lecorbusier #urbandesign #park #뉴욕 #미국 #도시 #도시계획 #green #city #urbanlandscape (at Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village)

#MapMondays - “The Arterial System” 1964, showing completed, under construction, in planning, and future highways. The proposed projects on this map that were never constructed include LoMex (Lower Manhattan Expressway), the Mid-Manhattan Expressway, the Bushwick Expressway, Interborough Parkway (Brooklyn), Prospect Expressway extension via Ocean Parkway, Sheridan extension, and the Shore Front Parkway on the Rockaway Peninsula. Many of these proposed routes were projects of Master Planner and Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Authority Chairman Robert Moses, who was pushed out of power four years later when the TBTA was merged into the Metropolitan Transit Authority and toll funds were diverted to save the city's ailing agencies including the subway. 🚗 Tap to purchase a copy of the map 🚙 #mapmonday #cartography #transitmap #nyc #brooklyn #rockaway #bushwick #oceanparkway #sheridanexpressway #robertmoses #powerbroker #shorefrontparkway #prospectparkway #brooklynqueensexpressway #brucknerexpressway #lomex #expressway #queens #bronx #urbanism (at Bushwick, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Fn0DMHy_G/?igshid=12xe9ctgabiwk
