ABSTRACT
The consequences of alliances between incentive economic regulations, powerful corporations and modern architecture lay the groundwork for the sensibility and revitalization of the collective space in part two. Under this second framework, the revitalization of Manhattan's public space is understood when participatory processes and a critical engagement with recreational demands finally take place in the city. After two decades of democrat mayoral parties, the arrival of a young and unexpected republican figure built a pioneering administration that addressed recreational demands and moved forward innovative projects for very diverse audiences in the city.
