"Once you've read The Power Broker, it's hard not to see the legacy of Robert Moses everywhere you look. The book details his profound impact on New York's urban landscape, shaping the city's infrastructure and politics through his car-centric vision. For many New Yorkers, understanding Moses' influence is crucial for diagnosing current issues within the city and exploring potential solutions. As we approach its 50th anniversary, the book continues to resonate, prompting discussions among city officials and planners about its relevance today."
"As the book hits its 50th anniversary this month, it is still beloved in political circles and serves as a Rorschach test for diagnosing what ails the city and how to fix it. Figures like city comptroller Brad Lander reflect on their experiences with it, recalling the transformative impact it had on their understanding of urban planning, particularly after taking a driving tour of various sites associated with Moses. This includes a deep exploration of his influence on the physical and political contours of New York City."
