Description:
Episode Seven of *New York: A Documentary* examines the city's transformation following World War II. As African Americans migrated north and Puerto Rican immigrants arrived, a pattern of growth continued for decades. Robert Moses’s urban renewal projects, including extensive highway construction, accelerated the movement of white residents to the suburbs. The demolition of Grand Central Terminal in 1963 and opposition to Moses's Lower Manhattan Expressway plans led to the establishment of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, safeguarding the city’s most significant buildings and neighborhoods. Economic challenges in the 1960s and 1970s impacted New York, but the city has experienced a lasting resurgence since the 1970s.
