Presented by Kara Murphy Schlichting, author of the recently published New York Recentered: Building the Metropolis from the Shore.
Presented by Kara Murphy Schlichting, author of the recently published New York Recentered: Building the Metropolis from the Shore.
Kara Schlichting's book New York Recentered: Building the Metropolis from the Shore offers a novel way of understanding our city. Such projects as Flushing Meadows and the Harlem River define the city in ways similar to the creation of Central Park or the highway, bridges, and urban renewal projects of Robert Moses.
Kara Schlichting is an Assistant Professor of History at Queens College, CUNY. She earned her PhD from Rutgers University in 2014. Her work in late-19th and 20th-century American History sits at the intersection of urban, environmental, and political history, with a particular focus on property regimes and regional planning in greater New York City. Her new research on tideland property development investigates how legal theory, coastal resiliency planning, and land politics shape American waterfronts.
