Résumé:It took more than four years to build the subway line from City Hall to West 145th Street in Harlem. Things rarely went that quickly ever again. This book explores the often dramatic stories behind the city's unbuilt or unfinished subway lines, shedding light on a significant part of New York City's history that has been almost completely ignored. By focusing on the unbuilt lines, the author illustrates how the existing subway system is actually a Herculean feat of countless political compromises.
