The Works

The book dives deep into NYC's infrastructure, but I wonder what sparked the author's fascination with this city specifically and how they decided which systems to highlight.

I usually think of architecture books as dry, but this one made me see urban infrastructure as a living, breathing organism. Has this changed how others view city planning?

The book covers a wide range of topics, but I’m curious how the author balanced depth with breadth. Were there parts they wanted to explore more but had to leave out?
