NYC is awesome. Although what you see in this video is Manhattan only. One thing the video mislead in. Nothing in Midtown Manhattan can be counted as new. This is only a vacant parcel to build something new in.
What an incredible contribution to an already iconic and growing city. I remember seeing the development during my vacation there, walking the highline, without even knowing what I was looking at!
In the mid 70's to the mid 80's I knew Manhattan island like the back of my hand. Countless little nooks and crannies, alleyways, and waterfront areas we explored. With most of it long gone I wish I had recorded it. We took it for granted that it would always be that way. It is astonishing that NYC could possibly have changed that drastically in 30 or 40 years. I suppose I should not be surprised, change is what New York City is all about. But I go there now and I almost don't know where I'm at ! It is the old waterfront I most miss.
Thanks for this comprehensive summary of Hudson Yards. It allows one to see how all these various elements work together to create something entirely new. The past is composed of singular developments that don’t necessarily compliment or function collectively.
This was a great move for the City of New York, the residents, community and the United States. When we begin to look at spaces differently an entire new way to build and live opens up. Respectfully, Scott
The large and popular cities are like living cells that grow higher and wider. The city has a *mind of it's own.* It wants to move people, to sell them things and to create productivity. It's like a giant machine for creating and spending. A very curious machine :-)
I agree - New York City is a living, breathing entity. The people are more like cells living in a host. The individual cells can do nothing to change the overall entity, they are just along for the ride. Eventually, some cells tire out and move to New Jersey! :)
You do realize that there is no toll towards New Jersey direction on the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Bayonne Bridge, Goethals Bridge, and the Outerbridge Crossing is so they leave and never come back right?
Sir Eddie who are you talking to? but this also makes no sense New Jersey has a ton of tolls once you get onto any highway from NYC... I would know I'm from Brooklyn and pay a ton of tolls in NJ.
I think it’s a conspiracy fabricated by the owners of video rental stores and diners. It costs money to get to NY, then it’s free to exit back to New Jersey, but once you get there it’s too expensive to drive around. Then all people do is sit at home, watch Clerks and Mallrats, and eat leftover Disco Fries.
Vlad Pootin It's for the super rich and not your average New Yorker. Average people keep getting displaced all over NYC; now even Harlem is getting gentrified. Nice project here, until you come to terms that all these developments are only meant for SOME people..that's far from spectacular.
You'll have to be super rich to afford anything there. No poor, no middle class, no students, artists, or strivers? I'd hardly call that a New York "neighborhood". More like Dubai-on-Hudson.
Noodle Mango My poi-nt is that HY will not be a new NYC style "neighborhood" as claimed in the video. It will be a collection of buildings without the diverse retail and human elements that make it a neighborhood. Another Riverside South or Battery Park City. An adjunct to New York rather than a part of it. Will the college have student housing?
Nothing more to say. Correct. Looks like the superrich are going to get their own piece of New York. A gated community in one of the densest populated areas in the world.
Hello! Are you planning on making video or is there any that explains the engineering of the sky deck? It would be so interesting. I am searching the web and haven't found anything about yet.
My wife and I missed our station and ended up at the Hudson yards station 4 years ago, end of the line and the only people were a few homeless. Impressed to see what it's becoming
As always great video. But Manhattan is becoming more and more off limits for the middle class and the poor. It will end up losing its sociologic diversity.
I’d say this project actually helps middle class and poor more than it hurts since Hudson Yards is being built on top of the train yard, unused space, rather than taking over a middle class community and gentrifying it for the rich.
I watch your videos with great fascination. Could you make a video on how to build a micro city state - like Monaco or Macau. How are the these tiny cities able to cram so many people and buildings and still manage to avoid choking traffic, swarms of people and any inkling of an overcrowded cities
Pan Werv I don’t think that’s true at all. Building more expensive housing only allows for wealthy residents to move in. It further alienates the middle class citizens that the city depends on. The same thing is happening in San Francisco. Too much unaffordable housing is being built, and middle class workers like teachers and store employees are pushed out of their city forced to commute from hours away. It’s exactly opposite of what the economy needs.
CrimpyGummybear Every year NYC invests massive sums of money to improving their transportation infrastructure to decrease commuting times. If it wasn't for all these wealthy residents moving in there would be less funding for all these transportation projects in the works right now. In the long run this is a good thing. The act of creating more housing doesnt push anyone out. Having more wealthy residents live in your city is generally a good thing as well.
Plus, it blocks the view of the Empire State Building, once the magnificent centerpiece of NYC Manhattan Island, from directly across the Hudson, in New Jersey! Very sad, indeed...many people left upset, and angry, too. Oh well, I guess that's progress, or, life goes on. : (
You’d think they could use stack effect towers for cooling/ventilating the rail yard instead of fans. They could also use this thermal waste for heating in the cooler months.
Sardar jaiveer singh sidhu Yes, it is an area on the west side of Manhattan that was a tough, working class neighborhood for many decades. Think: piers and docks, cobblestone streets, warehouses, longshoremen, taverns and 3 and 4 story walk-ups. Again, most of it long gone now.

Ny is one of the most complex cities in the world. Its amazing how everything works. Cool project.
I'm so thankful the Olympic games wasn't awarded to NYC. They were actually proposing to build an Olympic Stadium there.
The proposed Olympic stadium was supposed to go where Shea stadium used to stand.
Why is that a bad thing?

Also thank you, Developers, for not making more affordable housing. Damnable Gentrification.
@@knightlypoleaxe2501 they are affordable for rich people, they wouldnt build these if no one bought them. it still helps the economy
That’s why I love it so much I wanna move there.
Wow they're opening alot of jobs for window washers lol.
Window cleaning jobs, that's how they'll increase New York City GDP 1:35 :-).
I live in high rise with floor to ceiling windows (I think the first real pic of the project was taken from it) and cleaning the windows is pretty rare (once or twice a year max).
I belive by the time they are Finished it will be lot cheaper to have those Automated too, atlast on the large contious windowfronts.
WTC 110 good one

Yes, they will build it, it will be part of the overall Hudson Yards project site eventually.
Yes, they are going to.

Ah yesssss…. “There is a light at the end of the tunnel - and it’s called New Jersey!”
It's fascinating to me that NYC has so many layers.
Wowwwwwww, I love my city.
woa this is some crazy engineering, like so much tech just in the foundation alone
When they showed us the original 'park' I noticed it was an active train yard and wondered whether I was missing something. Great engineering.

The rents will be off the charts, for the 1%
It'll even be too pricy for them.. probably like .3%

Gateway is a different tunnel project started by Amtrak, who will be able to benefit from four tracks under both rivers in and out of Penn station. ARC would have been NJ Transit only, would have had no layover capacity and would have done nothing to help Penn. penn station needs it’s existing tunnels rebuilt due to sandy damage and ARC would have been no help.
I would say in the long run, Christie made the correct decision.
