Abstract
New York was born in the pursuit of profit. Anglo-Dutch War, Independence War, Civil War, World War I and World War II, New York stands at the forefront of every major political change until it becomes the capital of the post-war world. New York opened its arms and embraced the groups that were excluded and expelled from other continents. It also attracted speculators full of speculation, creating a unique immigration city in the world, where global cultures collided and sparked. Capital and population accumulate here, creating a spectacle of congestion in this metropolitan laboratory. However, what will the New York City change in the future? How the public realm would evolve in the urban context? Although the globalization might lead to a homogeneous future, the sensuous space and emotive architecture are still what we cannot lose. It’s always meaningful to really touch, smell, hear something. So, it’s always worthwhile to discuss the position of public spaces in the future.
