The City

This chapter examines the appropriation of the dying city by New York City natives and migrants drawn by the lure of decay, and the cultural explosion that followed, which birthed the downtown art scene, hip-hop, and new wave or punk music. This moment epitomized “the right to the city,” a more radical interpretation of Cosmopolis, making New York an open city in the 1970s.
