People and the Geography of New York City

My Community

Roughly 10,000 people live in Battery Park City, a community built upon 1.2 million cubic yards of rock and soil landfill at the southernmost end of Manhattan. With its bold, color photographs, primary source illustrations, and authentic text, this book explores this, and the many other ways that New Yorkers have changed their environment to suit their changing needs. Aligned with New York City's Grade 2 social studies curriculum standard for Unit 1: New York City's Geography 2.3c, 3.1, 4.1d.
