NYC: ETA 2016


NYC: Tomorrowland

So call me old fashioned, but I just don’t see this happening.. well, not in ten years. Anyone who lives in the city or has visited can probably agree with me. Granted I don’t live there, but this just seems like more of a 20 year project to me, and not all at once. I mean they’ve been working on just the downtown area of Long Beach now for what 15 years and that’s just a portion of a city one-hundredth the size?

This is Tomorrowland—a new city, a city larger than San Francisco, built on top of the city we know. In ten years, New York City will be transformed in ways we can only guess at. But in the pages that follow, you will explore our best guess, based on the plans, the dreams, the cornerstones, and the rising steel in nine city neighborhoods, spread over all five boroughs. In 2016, we won’t be able to be so parochial anymore—one Times Square isn’t going to be enough to fulfill the entertainment needs of that bigger, younger, more diverse population, and you’ll be talking about the lights on 125th Street. Fresh Kills will be three times the size of Central Park. If you imagine the city as a play—every neighborhood has a role—a lot of understudies are finally going to be called onstage.

Travis, we’ll just need a report and photo diary.. that’s all there is to it.
