City Rising- A History of New York City Real Estate presents a broad survey of real estate development in Manhattan, illustrated with images drawn largely from the rich archival resources of the Durst Collection at Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library, Columbia University. This book shares the distinct points of view on various aspects of Manhattan's architecture and urbanism from ten leading scholars- Russell Shorto, Hilary Ballon, Andrew Dolkart, David King, Reinhold Martin, Hilary Sample, Richard Plunz, Ann Buttenweiser, and Lynne Sagalyn, as well as historical essays by coeditors Kate Ascher and Thomas Mellins. Each scholar provides their point of view on subjects and themes in line with their areas of scholarly interest, including the rise of the apartment, the evolution of the skyscraper, the remaking of lower Manhattan, and much more. Though the book is broad in its scope and objectives, it does not attempt to be comprehensive, focusing instead on selected periods and subjects that convey key stories in a larger tale of urban development.
