PUBLIC AND PRIVATE IN NEW YORK Privately Owned Public Space is a detailed look at the current status of public spaces that developers (voluntarily or not) build into projects in exchange for the right to build larger buildings. Upon reading about this book, I thought the depth of it would be a mismatch for my interests, much less my television-age attention span. The authors proved me wrong, as this roadmap of public spaces and history of New York City planning and zoning kept me as enthralled as the Baseball Encyclopedia does during a hot-stove winter conversation.
