Description
"The sixth episode chronicles the dramatic and increasingly fateful events following the crash of 1929--as the greatest depression in American history plunged the city and nation into economic gloom. In little more than ten years, immense new forces were unleashed in New York, as two of the most remarkable New Yorkers of all time came to the fore--Fiorello La Guardia and Robert Moses--attempting to create in the darkest of times a bold new city of the future. Charting the demise of Mayor Jimmy Walker and the ascendancy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, this pivotal episode traces the fate of Harlem during the depression; the complex impact of the automobile on the city; and the immense public works projects that permanently altered the landscape of New York--from the Triborough Bridge and La Guardia Airport to the 1939 World's Fair--an eerily prophetic blueprint for a 'World of Tomorrow,' radically unlike the city that was its home."--Container.
