Urbanisation in New York
New York City grew as an economic center during the early 19th century due to several factors. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 increased trade and commerce flowing through the city. Advances in transportation like railroads and steam engines also supported the city's growth into an industrial and commercial hub. By the late 1800s, New York City had become the dominant port and financial center in the United States, attracting millions of immigrants and facilitating trade between the country and Europe.

Daniel Burnham was an American architect and urban planner born in 1846 who designed several famous buildings in his career including the Flatiron Building in New York City, the first steel-framed high-rise; Union Station in Washington D.C.; and the Masonic Temple Building. Some of his design philosophies included making bold plans with ambition and using geometric shapes like cylinders, triangles, and arches in his architectural designs.
Space shrinking technologies
Transportation and communication technologies have helped shrink the world's spaces in recent decades. For transportation, the advent of commercial jet aircraft in the 1950s-1960s made air travel more affordable and routine. Containerization since the 1950s revolutionized global shipping. Communication technologies like satellites in the 1960s, fiber optics in the 1970s, the Internet in the 1990s, and mobile phones have enabled near-instant and global transmission of information across vast distances. These space-shrinking technologies have promoted globalization and cultural exchanges while connecting businesses, markets, and people worldwide.

While other major cities like those in California had comparative advantages in industries like technology and entertainment, New York had the potential to consolidate its position through strategic vision from companies operating in the new digital economy.

2. After the Industrial Revolution, New York became headquarters for many important television networks as Manhattan centralized the motion picture and television industries.
3. During the period from 1870-1920, millions of immigrants came to the U.S. and greatly increased the urban population, accounting for most of the country's growth and influencing its culture. New York grew significantly through immigration.
American urbanization & new york city
The Brooklyn Bridge was built in the late 1800s to connect New York City to Brooklyn as the city was expanding rapidly. It took 14 years to complete due to financial and construction challenges but became a symbol of New York City when it opened in 1883. Boss Tweed was a corrupt New York City politician in the late 1800s who defrauded taxpayers of millions through real estate schemes. The Statue of Liberty was originally offered as a gift from France in 1875 but financial issues delayed its construction and unveiling in New York Harbor until 1886.
New york and urbanization
1) In the early 19th century, New York City had a population of less than 170,000 people and was a small, orderly rural community. However, with the construction of the Erie Canal and influx of immigrants, especially Irish fleeing the potato famine, New York grew rapidly to over 1 million residents by the 1850s and became a large, industrialized city.
2) The influx of poor Irish immigrants led to overcrowded slums with disease and poor living conditions, especially in neighborhoods like Five Points. This led to social tensions and the infamous 1863 Draft Riots.
3) By the late 19th century, New York had consolidated with surrounding cities and counties to form the five boroughs of New
New york city
New York City emerged as a center of world trade due to its strategic location and growing capital markets. Leaders harnessed the city's advantages, such as building the Erie Canal, to ensure economic dominance. Between 1870 and 1914, tens of millions of migrants crossed the Atlantic, many settling in New York, fueling its growth. The city attracted workers with wages higher than Europe and availability of land and jobs. New York's control of rivals demonstrates its remarkable ability to benefit from economic developments originating elsewhere.
Day 6 Group B
The 1920s became known as the Roaring Twenties due to rising mass consumption in America and breakthroughs in the arts and entertainment industries. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon's tax cuts for the rich and Henry Ford's advances in mass production made previously luxury goods more accessible to the middle class. New technologies like the radio and movies provided affordable entertainment. Jazz music and Art Deco became dominant as literary works from Hemingway and Fitzgerald reflected the cultural liberation of the time period. Overall, the economic conditions and developments in arts/entertainment helped define the decade as one of increased spending, innovation, and cultural changes.
High line
The High Line was originally constructed in 1851 as an elevated railroad on the West Side of Manhattan. It transported goods until 1980 when the last train carried frozen turkeys. In the following decades, parts of the line were demolished. The Meatpacking District developed in the 1840s around markets and became known for its slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants. Chelsea transitioned from a farm to industrial and residential areas, with tenement housing for immigrants and a theater district. The High Line is now an elevated park built on the original railroad structure.

New building types arose to meet the needs of urbanization, like apartments, offices, and cinemas. The period was also influenced by World Wars, immigration, and social reforms of the Progressive Era.
Time Square in USA
Time Square in New York City has gone through many changes over the years. Originally a rural area with streams, it became the center of the horse carriage industry in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s it was renamed Times Square after the New York Times moved its headquarters there. Throughout the 20th century it went from a thriving entertainment district to a seedy area known for crime and corruption, before being revitalized starting in the 1980s through new development and restoration of historic theaters.

The population grew 50x in Manhattan from 1800 to 1900, transforming it from a small farm town to a bustling city. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 established New York as a major port.

Throughout this period, infrastructure like police departments and parks were established to manage the growing city. By the early 1900s, new technologies like cars and airplanes connected cities and changed transportation patterns, posing new challenges for urban planning.

During the Little Ice Age, global temperatures dropped by around 4 degrees Celsius. This cooling was likely caused by decreased ocean circulation and increased volcanic activity. The colder climate led to failed harvests and famine across Europe. It also contributed to the spread of plague and helped the Vikings in Greenland to die off. The Little Ice Age had significant historical impacts and demonstrates humanity's vulnerability to climate change.
Guns, Germs and Steel
The document summarizes how geographical environments influenced historical outcomes. Eurasia had more suitable environments for domesticating plants and animals, allowing larger populations with surplus food. Its east-west orientation also facilitated migration and sharing of cultures and technology.

When Europeans encountered these other continents, they had advantages in horses, weapons, and immunity to diseases carried by their domesticated animals.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
