Mall City/Subway City: Hong Kong and New York's Consumer Landscapes
-
Type: event
- Location: Hyper-dense projects in Manhattan, such as the Westfield World Trade Center/Brookfield Place/Fulton Center complex and the Hudson Yard/Highline nexus will bring the Asian vertical mall to New York — a city that up until now has shunned this type of development. What will this mean for New York City and its love of the subway and the street? This panel will explore the consequences of these new developments and raise questions about cultural identity, architecture and urban life in the hyper dense socially mediated global city.
