Publisher's Review
A fun journey to discover the diverse faces and fascinating stories hidden in New York!
A story of development and growth in New York like you've never seen before!
-One Step Further Into New York!! New York Stories from Urban Experts
The era of stamp-collecting tourism, where you just quickly take a commemorative photo in front of a famous tourist attraction and move on to the next place, has long since passed.
Now, people create their own journeys, spending leisurely time in little-known art galleries or actively participating in unique events in unfamiliar cities.
Each city has its own story.
There is a history and culture that has been created over time, and there are various landmarks and famous places that make up the present.
There are must-try recommended foods and restaurants, plays and performances you want to see and experience, and shopping lists you want to buy.
The book brings attention once again to New York, a city we have only briefly visited.
The author, with experience in a variety of international cities, illuminates New York's diverse facets from various angles and reveals its unique face, helping us understand its identity.
Let's take a step beyond the New York we know so far and listen to its unique colors and stories.
- A single volume that covers New York's history, economy, culture, landmarks, major attractions, and even shopping stories.
Contains everything you need to understand New York.
Before getting to know New York, let's first look at a brief history and overview of the United States, and learn about its administrative districts and economic and cultural characteristics.
And it summarizes the history of New York from its inception to its current form in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.
Afterwards, it introduces the culture that New York has created, including literature, art, food, and fashion, and provides a detailed and friendly overview of the major landmarks that have innovatively transformed the appearance and character of New York, as well as recommended must-visit attractions.
We've outlined the features of major department stores and shopping centers and added helpful shopping tips.
A groundbreaking book detailing the history of urban regeneration and development in New York.
Manhattan, the land the Dutch purchased from Native Americans in the 1600s, was called New Amsterdam and was later absorbed by England and became New York.
New York, which was developing rapidly, is composed of 12 avenues running north to south and 155 streets running east to west.
New York, with its grid system of city blocks, has expanded the scope of development through zoning codes and other zoning regulations, and has continued to pursue active development through public-private cooperation.
There is no other book that can introduce New York like this.
The author, a researcher of urban development and urban regeneration, also documents in detail major development projects that New York has recently undergone or is currently underway.
Issues related to urban regeneration and development are updated every few months.
With information on New York's regeneration and development, compiled by the author, who is always on the lookout, you can stay up to date with even the latest development and architectural trends.
-Let travel become a culture
Thanks to the development of various media outlets, we live in an era where we can gather a vast amount of information from the comfort of our own home.
At the same time, it has become a virtue to be able to discard and select well rather than to gather information well.
That's why it's important how you think and what kind of story you weave.
This book shows what it means to have well-organized information with a focus on philosophy.
If you know what you need to know before visiting New York and see what you need to see when you visit, your trip will teach you much more than books can.
This book will be a great gift for readers who find pleasure in learning and experiencing new things, gaining knowledge and culture, rather than traveling solely to see, eat, enjoy, and shop.
- A simple handbook with gorgeous images
The book is beautifully arranged with vivid photos taken by the author himself.
We also used appropriate infographics to help you understand the United States and New York at a glance.
We also considered the size of the book so that it would be easy to carry around while traveling.
If you keep it close by and refer to it frequently while traveling in New York, it will serve as a reliable companion to accompany you on your enjoyable trip.
