An unmistakable metropolitan panorama, perhaps the most recognizable on the planet. New York never sleeps... and is constantly changing: at the time of the first settlements the profile of Manhattan was very different, marked by many small bays and inlets. It's a shame that aerial photography didn't exist at the time, thanks to which today we are able to capture all the dynamism, splendor and variety of this metropolis. The book traces its evolution through a sequence of exciting aerial images, from the first photographs from the sky to the most recent ones made digitally, which are truly impressive.

After the first chapter dedicated to maps and bird's eye views prior to the advent of aerial images, the development of the city is relived through three main phases (1900-1949, 1950-1999, 2000-present) composing a complete picture of its unique history.
