Welcome to The City Review!

 

Sculpture by Augustus St. GaudensAttention must be paid, as they say.

We say that important urban issues need to be addressed in a timely and comprehensive manner.

We say that the cultural achievements and misfires of the world's greatest city and the spectacular but often quite frustrating technological wonders that are transforming and expanding our lives need to be incisively explored and explained.

The City Review will attempt such challenges, knowing full well how darn much information is out there.  We are all overwhelmed, but these are exciting times.

The City Review has no specific agenda other than pride in the glories of the city, dismay that it is no way near perfect, and confidence that an informed public and responsible media can overcome a lot.  The articles and essays of The City Review run as long as necessary and they are not fixed in length by some artsy "director," but by their content. Perhaps more important is the desire of The City Review not to be a knee-jerk, hastily written compendium of press releases.  Our long view will hopefully not be academic, nor dry, and have some of the witty perspective of the connoisseur's "eye."

This site also includes "The Midtown Book," "The Upper East Side Book," "The Upper West Side Book," and "The Lower Manhattan Book," all of which contain illustrated essays on prominent and important buildings.

Also included are reviews of classic sound films and a sampling of  poetry and computer graphics by Carter B. Horsley, the editor and publisher of The City Review who looks forward to any E-Mail comments, or queries, at carterbh@aol.com. Mr. Horsley is also the editor of CityRealty.com. As the contents listings are very long, use the scroll bar at the right to move down quickly through the various sections.
