The Greatest Grid: Curator’s Talk

Architectural Historian Hilary Ballon, curator of The Greatest Grid, will present the third in her series of illustrated talks about the creation of Manhattan's numbered system of streets and avenues—one of the most distinctive and defining features of the city. Dr. Ballon's presentation will focus on adaptations to this grid, from Broadway and Central Park to superblocks and skyscrapers, and its remarkably flexible responses to the changing needs of the city.
