The clash between Moses and Jacobs took place during an unusual stagnation in population, distorting how they envisioned New York City's future in a changing demographic landscape.
While Moses and Jacobs fought over urban development visions, New York City was in a period of population stagnation from 1940 to 1970, a deviation from historical norms.
The debate between urban renewal pioneers serves as a distraction from the realities of current challenges, despite their lasting impacts on the city's growth and identity.
Moving forward, it is crucial to acknowledge the population growth trends that have reshaped New York City since the 1980s, diverging from the narrative of the mid-century.
