Preserving the World’s Great Cities

Combining architecture, history, and cultural studies, former New York City Landmarks Preservation Commissioner Anthony Tung weaves a compelling narrative about preservation and loss in urban landscapes, examining the struggle to reconcile the preservation of our historical foundations with the advancements of modern generations.
