About the Book: Connective Urbanism – New York is a contemporary portrait of New York City, illustrated by KPF's recent work. The publication features a collection of essays by leading urbanists and commentators and a series of speculations on the future of the city from KPF Urban. The book examines architecture that actively responds to context and, in so doing, improves the urban condition—connecting to the past, enhancing functionality today, and enabling a better future.
