Abstract

NEW YORK’S Urban Development Corporation’s plan for Times Square called for four antiurbanistic office towers by Philip Johnson and John Burgee to stand guard like cops on the beat over what was viewed as a squalid street scene. A subsequent plan, known as “42nd Street Now!” and created by a consortium of state, city, and private groups under the stewardship of Robert A. M.
