MERARI-POST 3


Constantly changing is sign of development and evolution. However, cities such as New York that has a radical and fleeting changes should have a specific neighborhoods' regulation  which preserves landmarks and history . Actually, as a consequence of Penn Station's destruction a law was created: "The Landmark Preservation Law and Commission ". At the beginning the law just protected historic buildings and neighborhoods, some years later the law was expanded to public interiors and landscapes . So, the law is a symbol of urban image´s importance, landmarks' preservation and the significance of keeping the essence history of New York City.

  1. I agree with the opinion of my classmate Merari, because government should take care Old Buildings that are important for the society,
    In New York City exists some laws that protect the Buildings and was a good manner of demonstrate to tourists that the City has been changing trough the years, in some neighbourhoods we can see an old building, next to a new luxurious building, that what makes NYC unique.
