  Gerard Koeppel, "City on a Grid: How New
York Became New York"
  ISBN: 0306822849 | 2015 | EPUB | 336 pages | 28 MB
  
  You either love it or
hate it, but nothing says New York like the street grid of Manhattan. Created in 1811 by a three-man commission
featuring headstrong Founding Father Gouverneur Morris, the plan called for a dozen parallel avenues crossing at right
angles with many dozens of parallel streets in an unbroken grid. Hills and valleys, streams and ponds, forests and
swamps were invisible to the grid; so too were country villages, roads, farms, and estates and generations of property
lines. All would disappear as the crosshatch fabric of the grid overspread the island: a heavy greatcoat on the land,
the dense undergarment of the future city.
  
  No other grid in Western civilization was so large and uniform
as the one ordained in 1811. Not without reason. When the grid plan was announced, New York was just under two hundred
years old, an overgrown town at the southern tip of Manhattan, a notorious jumble of streets laid at the whim of
landowners. To bring order beyond the chaos—and good real estate to market—the street planning commission
came up with a monolithic grid for the rest of the island. Mannahatta—the native "island of hills"—became
a place of rectangles, in thousands of blocks on the flattened landscape, and many more thousands of right-angled
buildings rising in vertical mimicry.
  
  The Manhattan grid has been called "a disaster" of urban planning
and "the most courageous act of prediction in Western civilization." However one feels about it, the most famous urban
design of a living city defines its daily life. This is its story.
