As New York came to a halt with COVID, Michael Kimmelman composed an email to a group of architects, historians, writers, and friends, inviting them to take a walk. Wherever they liked, he wrote—preferably someplace meaningful to them, someplace that illuminated the city and what they loved about it. At first, the goal was distraction. At a scary moment when everything seemed uncertain, walking around New York served as a reminder of all the ways the city was still a rock, joy, and inspiration.

A New York you need to imagine
Revisado: 01-24-23
A lockdown project created this fascinating view of New York. Through a series of real and virtual encounters and conversations woven into walks across the city with architects, historians and city planners, among others, the author reveals a city shaped by centuries of history. It’s a glimpse into one of the world’s busiest cities at a time of unparalleled quiet, where stories of nature, trees, ecology and the first people’s of this place open up windows into an incredibly rich natural past. Kimmelman also unearths the efforts of communities to create a liveable city. Listening to, rather than reading this book, is a meditative experience.
