History
Short history of New York, only 300 years. The earliest _set_tlements in the southern tip of Manhattan Island, was originally the residence of the Indians. 1524 Italian early promise came to flamenco like estuaries, 1609 Hudson British expedition along the river upstream, the river named after him. 1626 value of about 60 Dutch guilders (equivalent to 24 U.S. dollars) of small objects bought Manhattan Island from the Indians opened up a trading post, called "New Amsterdam." In 1664, King Charles II's brother, the Duke of York occupied this place, renamed New York (ie New York, Yorkshire United Kingdom). New York, a city in 1686. During the War of Independence, New York is the headquarters of George Washington, and he became the first President of the United States where, but also was the temporary capital of the United States. 1825, connecting the Hudson River and Erie Canal into the Great Lakes navigation, and later the construction of the railway, communication with the central and western New York contact, promoting the great development of the city. To the mid-19th century, New York has become the nation's largest port city and _set_ of financial, trade, tourism and culture and the arts in a cosmopolitan city. New York colonial history in Europe, North America, the first time, Lena Pei ethnic Albanians have been living in this region, in 1613 the Dutch established New Amsterdam in this (new amsterdam) and New Holland (new netherland). 1640, Peter Lancaster, was appointed the governor Ephron Santer, 1652, the colonies were granted autonomy. In 1664, the British conquered the colony and renamed it New York (new york), because the British had earlier been named the City of York (york). After August 1673 the Dutch recaptured the colony, to the city was renamed "New Orange" (new orange), and then in November 1674 on the colony was ceded to Britain permanently. After the British regained the colony, and renamed it New York City (city of new york), and surrounded it, not allowed to develop it, and finally the outbreak of new york campaign, which is the early American Revolutionary War series of major battles, After New York City has continued, following the British administration, until the end of the war, the British moved out of the last port. According to the U.S. Constitution, the General Assembly, September 13, 1788, the newly formed New York City was the temporary capital of the United States until 1790. Erie Canal began operation in 1825, New York City's economy also increased, to become an economic center. During the American Civil War, New York City has a lot of chaos and confusion emerged, such as Gangs of New York (gangs of new york), and the 1863 draft riots (new york draft riots) and so on. Some of the deadliest in U.S. history became a riot. In 1904, New York City began a series of new transport eleven operations, most notably the New York subway, they help to consolidate New York City. The large number of immigrants in Europe has brought major changes to society, and anti-capitalist trade union iww (industrial workers of the world) were inhibited. Later, in the 1920s, a large number of African Americans from the southern United States moved to New York City, and some people began to build skyscrapers. During the Great Depression, New York City is also suffering, the Second World War, New York City has played a significant role. After World War II, New York City, was the dominant city in the world, but in 1950, the New York City declined, with the exception of industrial and commercial, during the 70s, the crime rate rose to dangerous levels. September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, nearly 3,000 people killed. Among the staff of the WTO, two commercial jet passengers, and hundreds of firefighters, police and rescue workers. The event is called the "911 Incident", tycoon with alleged international terrorist Osama bin Laden are closely related. This event prompted the U.S. to "terrorism" as an excuse to launch a second Gulf War. The process of historical development of the city Immigrants from Europe _set_tled in New York after New York, but a considerable period of time along the Atlantic coast to trade with Europe is one of many ports in New York, the advantages of deep water port is not being played. In 1790, New York, only 3.3 million people. After the industrial revolution. Steam engine in the UK textile industry, iron industry has been widely used. However, due to the natural resources of the United States is rich in the early 19th century when the mill is still located in the valley among the New England-powered by hydraulic power, iron is still using wood as fuel. Steam engine first used in inland shipping in the United States. The days before railways, river transport is the main form of transport over long distances. The Appalachian mountains blocking the east coast and central plains of transport links between regions. Until the 19th century a large number of junior high school agricultural production regions in general are still transported by the Mississippi River to New Orleans, and then transported to the eastern coastal cities. Bypass transport due to spend a lot of time, forcing traders to consider instead of wooden sailing steamer. Steamer at the time was an innovation, and New York State adopted the first new thing. August 1807, Fulton steamboat voyage from New York to use the Albany, only manufacturing plant 8-10 hours, while the wooden sailboat to go a few days to two earlier, and the carriage to go 15-20 hours. To open the gateway to central and western New York, New York State routes .1817 Albany was the first construction of the Erie Canal to Buffalo. 1825 completion of the canal, the channel length of 363 years, the use of horse-drawn barge transportation of goods. Canal from Buffalo to Albany to make the transportation costs on average $ 90 per ton, down from the $ 8 the following, more importantly, with the Erie Canal, the New York area have a direct link. Since the expansion of the hinterland of New York began to go beyond Philadelphia, Boston and other competitors, began to move the nation's largest port city. The mid-19th century, the greatest impact on the U.S. economy is the development of railway construction. Although Baltimore is a city in the United States the first construction of railways, but by 1850 the railway mileage of the New York State ranks first in the states. After further westward extension of the railway, New York, across the United States to become the hub of rail lines east. Improvement of water and land transportation, together with the main trade partners were the United States is the United Kingdom, the economic potential of the New York port can be fully released, and thus leaving New York as the nation's largest trade port, when the U.S. imports accounted for 1 / 3 or more. As the largest port in the United States, New York also became the center of European immigrants. Large number of immigrants to the urban population continues to grow. In 1900, the New York City has a population of 343.7 million. Population growth, the formation of large consumer market, the New York clothing, food and other industries to flourish. The birthplace of the first industrial revolution in England, so when the United States to accept the spread of new technology-based. The late 19th century began to power based on the application of the second industrial revolution. Although the great English scientist Faraday of electricity leads to the human world, but the invention of a large number of electrical appliances are in Germany and the United States. Germany's Siemens, Edison, Westinghouse Electric Age 3 is the most famous inventor, which is the formation of two electrical industry and development. Earlier, - species cleaner than coal, energy wider use of oil in the vicinity of New York, Pennsylvania, the first to be mined. 1859, U.S. oil production is only 2,000 barrels, and 1900, production reached 6,362 barrels per day. Not only for direct use as fuel oil, but also an important chemical raw material, and launched the internal combustion engine, to promote the ships, automobiles, aircraft forward. Thus from the late 19th to early 20th century, the third long wave of the three leading industrial electrical industry, chemical industry and automobile industry have developed vigorously in the United States, the result is the United States as the world's first - major industrial countries. However, the first time in London during the industrial revolution, similar to the second industrial revolution did not lead to transformation of industrial structure in New York, New York's main function is associated with this trade and financial services. And the difference is in London, due to the huge U.S. domestic market, strong domestic demand, the New York trade and finance, much less the degree of internationalization of London. Truly become an international economic center of New York city after the First World War, mainly because of: (1) United Kingdom suffered great losses in World War I, the pound status - decreased, while the United States to take advantage of the opportunities the war, by the debtor into a creditor nation, the U.S. dollar replaced sterling as the dominant world currency. (2) since the 19th century the United States as the world's largest industrial countries, while industrial production of l / 3 concentrated in New York as the center of the Middle Atlantic states, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey ocean. This is an international trade center in New York is important. One end of Second World War, the United States in the world economy in the peak position, while New York has entered its heyday.

New York City 300 years of history, from the initial colony, to today's world-class city. Population of 7.6 million New York City, the suburbs of 4 million people. The city's 76 ethnic groups, the use of 125 kinds of languages, and 3% are Chinese. America's first urban planning law in 1916 was first produced in New York City, the nation's most comprehensive urban planning method developed in 1964 in New York City. One to allow the orderly growth Guiding principle of urban planning in New York is how to make the city grow in an orderly manner, and its legal basis is to regulate the future of visible and invisible. Such as 1990 when I worked once in all the housing and urban planning system was a modified, was mainly to resolve how to coordinate, preserve existing communities and make them not to have too much growth. Urban development and the development of other similar things, there is also a city planning from youth to youth, middle age, different times, each time the steps are not the same development. New York City planning is a middle of planning, its planning law is a very unique program called the urban land use review procedure, the initials into ulurp. Second, the purpose of urban planning in New York City 1, to enhance the quality of all the living environment 2, the city must be orderly, structured integrated development Not very rapid urban development, it is impossible without order, and can not go a single direction, urban planning must make the city orderly, structured comprehensive development. Whether in the operation of the fund, the arrangement of the entire staff, as well as law enforcement, implementation, supervision must be the first to follow such a condition. So when we are engaged in planning must take into account the direction of our development and integrated development where the real performance, there must be orderly, organized. 3, to create a distinctive feature of the city's image Our way through the planning of the city's image to be able to express fully, so that the image of our city in a city region has a unique personality, not when the city planning came out, we can not feel our local cities and other What is the difference cities. 4, the city must maintain a stable price and value of urban land Maintain a stable price and value of urban land is now a very important guiding ideology, China has not done that. Third, the city planning process New York City, there is a rule in the planning, is the need to plan the trial officials to considerable administrative and legal status, or they make decisions out of other people may soon be lost to the overthrow, and with the personnel changes will also inevitably be freely modified. New York City Planning is also very open, by the community - District - City three levels simultaneously. In New York, to approve the planning of the timing of, any government involved in any land use changes, or the entire large-scale urban changes, such as reclamation, fill the river, including the expropriation of property by the municipal government, or municipal government to prepare People buy a lot of the land, and our location on the major construction will be subject to the following procedures: First project to the city planning bureau, (not to the Planning Commission, Planning Commission, New York, the department is not the future, China is also slowly will cancel the Planning Commission has now begun in Beijing.) Urban Planning Bureau received a project application, preliminary review, mainly to see whether the contents of the application requirements. Planning Board must look at whether there is a general analysis of environmental quality, and if a violation can be rejected. Qualified project, 5 days, should apply to all materials Community Council, the Chinese American community Subdistrict slightly larger than that. Community Board will first review the application. Within 60 days, the community must be notified as soon as community residents, telling them now there is a change of land use or land use planning matters, and then presided over public hearings, public hearings must be timely notice of the results with the District Planning Committee, Community Board may also make the application automatically through, to give up the power of review. The next step is to apply to the project head of the office, the head of audit. At this point does not host public hearing on Mayor to immediately comment. If the request is trans-regional application, the Commission must consult with their cross. District within 30 days to send comments on this application for urban planning committee. Urban Planning Bureau held after the Commission accepted the city's residents to the municipal public hearing. Planning Board public hearing by the Commission for approval, you can also add additional conditions of approval. Third, the city Planning Board if the application was rejected, then the project to abort the; If adopted, the Planning Board members of the municipal public hearing comments collated and sent to the City Council, like China's National People's Congress the same. City Council has 50 days to review, if adopted, the project was approved and become law; if opinions can be sent back to Planning Board re-trial. (General project this step, the City Council will by 99%, unless it is a political struggle issue.) Why audit unit is the last city council, not the Planning Board it? Because of the political system in New York, the City Council are elected officials, members of the city Planning Board is appointed, the Cabinet officials, and therefore stressed that the system of public opinion, any designated officials must obey the elected officials. Power than elected officials, cabinet officials. If the City Council passed, Ji Song mayor, the mayor signed the document in 5 days. (Because the mayor is elected by vote of the people of the city, so his post, the power should be the maximum.) Mayor also has veto power, if the Mayor would veto the City Council within 3 days, can be 2 / 3 The vote overturned his veto. Through this program through the project, have a legal basis. The plan is the status of a legal basis for such a form through the _set_ up, the results so that everyone can accept, obedience, and compliance. This is New York City practice. New York is a very wide geographical range of most of towels, the U.S. statistical authorities and the academic community in New York has several defined geographical area, New York City is just the heart of the New York metropolitan area, and Manhattan is the core of the core area. 1. Crowded central area - Manhattan Manhattan is located in the Hudson River, surrounded by the East River and Harlem River - an island is a district of New York City. Area of 80 square kilometers and population of 148.8 million people, 5 in New York City area and population of the smallest one one of the highest density. Manhattan is the center of economic activity in New York, is an industry, population, transportation, culture is highly concentrated, it is not only New York, is the heart of the entire U.S. economy. Currently, Manhattan has more than 240 million jobs, accounting jobs in various economic activities in the 2 / 3, where the financial, insurance, real estate, the city's share of jobs accounted for 90%, the proportion of business services employment up to 85% . Manhattan Island, the area south of 61 Street, New York's cbd (central business district), an area of about 23 square kilometers. In this small region, with 2.1 million jobs, accounting for 60% of the city, the city provides the output value accounted for 2 / 3. Cb in the half of the employed population work in the office, among which 45% of the staff working within the national headquarters. In addition. cbd also focused on the New York metropolitan area theaters 76%, 14% of students in the book. Manhattan is also the manufacturing regions, manufacturing employment accounted for 60% of the city, accounting for 25% of most towel area, employment in the garment industry accounts for 70% of the city. High concentration of manufacturing in Manhattan by many factors. Non-standardized products as close to the central area of need to make full use of information resources, reduce transaction costs, and high-level of the plant greatly increased the density of factory land, forced relocation of factories to reduce the pressure. In addition, small factories, you can attack first, take advantage of any available space. Various industrial sectors to the Manhattan gathering process, the functional regional differences become increasingly evident, the formation of a variety of functional areas. For example, the financial district around Wall Street, the city's office, preserves between Perth and Houston high-rise industrial area, the Western women's fashion center, and so on. Among them, Wall Street is the concentration of various financial institutions, the core of the core of New York, the hub of the U.S. economy. Wall Street at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, east from the East River, just west of Broadway Avenue, only 500 meters long, wide, but 1l meters. Wall Street and around 1 square kilometer range, with nearly 3,000 large and small financial institutions. Several of the most famous American banks such as Citibank, Chemical Bank, JP Morgan, Chase Manhattan Bank, Bankers Trust New York headquarters were not here, the U.S. and the world's largest securities firms - New York Stock Exchange, also located here . Foreign banks established branches or offices in the United States more than half is in here. Wall Street took office in the number of financial institutions in 1987 reached 26 million, then two larger plants experience the impact of stock market crash after the employment has decreased, but still 2l million in 1990. 2. The proliferation of suburbs Concentrated in the service sector, while continuing to Manhattan, New York, part of the population and industry are constantly spread to the suburbs, so that the rapid expansion of the geographical scope of the city, a large area of low-density suburb of the city, opposite the formation and the central area of the landscape and function. Suburbanization of New York began in the late 19th century. First - after World War II, suburbs began to accelerate the rate of diffusion. From 1900 to 1954, the Greater New York's population from 550 million to 1,500 million square kilometers of built-up area expanded from 363 to 2850 square kilometers, that is, the population increased by 3 times, built-up area increased by 8 times. The rate of diffusion is much larger than city population growth. Development was based on the outskirts of town development as the main way. In these new towns to build more commuter rail and major road junctions along the route, the formation of beaded pattern of urban distribution. After the war, with the popularity of private cars, the suburbs spread out the dependence on transportation routes, urban area into a rapid expansion of out of area. 50's to 80's built-up area of New York City the rate of 78 square kilometers per year out forward, and getting lower and lower density. 40 years, single-family homes in the area - like 0.14 acres (about 578 square meters), a few large single-family homes, covering about] to 2 acres. 60's to 80's, most of the single-family homes in the area of o.5 to l acres, more affluent single-family homes up to 5 acres or more.

The second industry after World War II, the United States as the world's most powerful country, with Bentu were not anti-war. Thus decided after the establishment of the United Nations headquarters in the United States. As the capital of New York, though not the United States, but it is the commercial capital of the world's largest, _set_ in 1946, the United Nations headquarters in New York. As the United Nations in international politics is becoming more significant, growing body, thus benefit in New York.

The fundamental reason is the United States largest economy in the world today, the New York Stock Exchange, the Dow Jones 30 industrial average stock price volatility around the Tokyo, London and other securities market, the status of the dollar affect the global foreign exchange market. In addition, because the United States is the world's largest outward investor, making New York to focus on business in the world 44% of the total investment.

However, for large U.S. companies, the withdrawal of the New York metropolitan area over the same period the company's headquarters is only 24, indicating that New York is still the headquarters of the United States the largest concentration of big cities. Gradual withdrawal of large companies with headquarters in New York opposite trend, the big banks are still gathering in New York.

Grand Central Station New York City is America's largest and most crowded cities, is also the world's largest metropolitan area where large-scale, so the city's traffic flow is huge. During peak hours or holidays, there is often a large crowd, the trend of moving vehicles in the downtown Manhattan area within or between five and often lead to all major roads in urban areas and important even outside the bridge, traffic congestion situation occurs. New York City traffic and its large surrounding area, and therefore the center of New York, New York City metropolitan area also has the state governments alone or co-founded the unit responsible for providing the greater New York area traffic demand. New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut has a lot of office workers commute daily to the greater New York area has a very large transportation needs, which brought the greater New York area throughout the United States has the most developed public transport system. Compared to most other U.S. cities (especially Los Angeles) mode of transport to cars, New Yorkers, mainly by bus, subway and ferry to work, of which, the New York subway is the world's largest public transportation systems in the world .

Since the reforms of public workshops with the New York subway ride more convenient, so well received by the public and tourists. In 1997, when the issue near the card, the New York public transport system has reached the number of passengers to 27 million passengers. In addition, the New York City in the river harbor complex, so the large number of bridges and tunnels, is one major feature. These bridges and tunnels on a very substantial contribution to the development of New York, especially Manhattan, surrounded by water on the island is especially true because the bridge is between the center of the public (ie Manhattan) and must pass through channels between the suburbs, the tunnel is no different. But during rush hour to work, bridges and tunnels have become the traffic bottleneck. In addition to local traffic will be developed, the New York City and across the United States is also very frequent contacts, through well-developed, complex rail and road network, New York residents to be more rapid, convenient blocks from the city across the country. Besides New York is located in the northeastern United States and because, from Europe closer proximity of the North Atlantic route the busiest, so be it with Europe's air and maritime transport between, are very busy. Downtown streets Manhattan streets are designed to chessboard, very tidy and has caused.

City on the city streets with the vast majority of time in accordance with the chessboard of the plan, but at Hao Shi Street (Houston Street) south of the city is not under the rules, all the streets are a road name. West side of the highway, Eleventh Avenue, Tenth Avenue, Ninth Avenue, Eighth Avenue, Seventh Avenue, Sixth Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, Park Avenue, Lexington Avenue, Third Avenue , Second Avenue, First Avenue, Roosevelt Expressway.

The different countries, something the nation has entered the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The collection is only indicating the country of origin, rather than true owner.

Just as Beijing has a central axis of the city, like Manhattan, New York, also has a central axis, that is the famous Fifth Avenue. Apart from Fifth Avenue shopping paradise, but it was a "Museum Row." Up to 42 Street north from 110th Street, in the Fifth Avenue side, there are twelve ten large and small museums: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Museum of American arts and crafts, TV, Radio Museum, New York City museums, one after the other, amazing, of course, is the most worldwide attention Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Metropolitan Museum of Art). January 31, 1870, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 681 Fifth Avenue in New York, the original "Duodewosi dance school," the official site of the establishment. In 1880, the museum moved to its present site, the Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street at the intersection. With the continuous increase in collections, this Gothic-style granite building has undergone several expansion. Crystallization of the entire building with different architectural styles of each period, covering a total area of 186,000 square meters, 80 to 84 across the street, the Palace Museum in Beijing, although only 1 / 9; but exhibited a very large area, no less than 24 hectares, but is twice the Palace Museum. Into the broad open space in front of the museum, mounted dozens of big high steps, head to see eight large Roman column, as if into a one temple. Proximity to Central Park, museums, quiet, elegant environment, green lining on the shade of the temple-like building appearance, people forgetting the excitement of the urban clamor of the earth and floating. Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition area as large, multi-collectibles and good and is recognized as the best American Art Museum, the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London, saying the world's three major art museums. Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, only 174 from the initial collection of European paintings, has evolved into today's collection of more than 330 million pieces, only there are more than 200 galleries, in possession of 365,000 kinds of artifacts and works of art. The museum has 19 specialized departments are responsible for collecting various types of collections, storage and exhibition, about 1,800 full-time employees and 9,000 volunteers working in the shop. There are 3 exhibition hall of the museum floor, is divided into clothing, Greek and Roman art, primitive art, weapons armor, European sculpture and decorative arts, American art, R.

Metropolitan Museum of Art is like a huge cultural magnet, attracting a constant stream of tourists come, the museum received millions of visitors each year, the highest record of 520 million. So, as I would like to remind you 1 520 live births, visits required before the 82 streets in the Fifth Avenue entrance to the "Visitor Center." Prepared a map of where the museum and the national language leaflets, holding the data while being read to visit, as soon as you can find the most interesting exhibition location, saving a lot of time. However, the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art collection is so rich, if the five saccades per minute speed meter display works from the Museum opened the first minutes of counting backward, in the middle do not eat, drink, do not rest, do not stop to Lian Zhouzhuan to the closing date when, probably only see the exhibit on display from one of a dozen points. That is, at this rate, we must not pause to look half finished before viewing the works on display outside. If fortunate enough to run into you can rotate every two weeks all of the exhibits, must be so do not eat, drink, do not rest, do not stop to see the speed of 3 years to "browse" End of all the museum collections, as truly "appreciate" After all collections need time, more difficult mathematical model. Perhaps never in this world no one is really the "Browse" or "appreciate" After all the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, because this is an impossible task - perhaps you think it is a pity, however, regret Another often means perfect itself, as old as man, you have to know when is the end, when to the end of shame.
