The new exhibit in Vanderbilt Hall recounts the big ideas – and missed opportunities – that made New York.
The Regional Plan Association is celebrating its 100th anniversary with an exhibit in Grand Central’s Vanderbilt Hall.
“It’s a private group, it can’t make anything happen, it can’t build anything itself,” James Sanders, the exhibit’s designer, said of the RPA. “But what it does do is create the blueprint so that when the time comes and the powers that be align – whether it was the Port Authority and Robert Moses and the New Deal in the 1930s, or Mayor [Michael] Bloomberg in the 2000s – there’s a plan there with well-thought-out, well-conceived, discussed, argued-over ideas that can be a jumping-off place.
“He didn't conceive it, he didn't design it, he basically built a scheme that was included in [the RPA's] plan, and there it is as a drawing, the Triborough Bridge,” Sanders said.
