New York
Today i arrived in New York and I will be stayin for a month. I do not want to waste the month. I feel like I am wasting a lot of my time recently. And worst I am getting used to it. My main objective is to find the urban design community and attend the events. I want to research innovative new developments around the city as well as old ones. I also want to research the neighborhoods associations in Manhattan and get an idea of the political structure.
I have a love/hate relationship with Manhattan New York. I love the street energy and the public spaces. I dislike the glamour, noise, and speed. When I was little I used to think New York was the ideal city. Do you have to sacrifice the culture and active public forum, if you want a quiet, slow, simple city?
