VERTICAL CITIES: HONG KONG | NEW YORK
July 2008 through February 2009
THE SKYSCRAPER MUSEUM, NEW YORK CITY
Walk through the exhibition on-line: www.skyscraper.org/verticalcities
Hong Kong, like New York, is born from a perfect harbor and evolved into a dominant centre of international finance and commerce.
In both cities the skyscraper has been a principal instrument of economic and urban growth and has created incomparable skylines.
The Skyscraper Museum in Manhattan is featuring an exhibit now through February that compares the historical development of Hong Kong and New York through photography, film, and architectural models in an analysis of the world's most dramatic skyscraper societies.
