Focusing on one quintessential urban space, Times Square, this study of American city culture ranges in time from 1905 to the present. It examines Times Square as an economic hub, real estate bonanza, entertainment centre, advertizing medium, architectural experiment, and erotic underworld. As well as Times Square, the essays cover other examples of urban history and American social history, showing in the process how Times Square reflected America as it became an urban consumer culture.
