核心要点
The Unelected King Who Shaped Modern America
Robert Moses transformed New York without ever holding elected office. For over four decades, he wielded extraordinary power, building 627 miles of roads, 658 playgrounds, 13 bridges, and reshaping an area inhabited by 12 million people. Though he never learned to drive, Moses created the automobile-centered paradigm that defines American cities to this day. His projects include beloved landmarks like Jones Beach, the Triborough Bridge, and Lincoln Center, yet his methods displaced hundreds of thousands, primarily poor minorities. What makes his story so compelling isn't just the physical transformation he engineered but what it reveals about power itself-how it's acquired, wielded, and the price we pay for progress. Have you ever wondered how our cities came to be designed around cars rather than people? The answer begins with Robert Moses.
