Hungarian Summary:
New York a világ legismertebb megavárosa, és legjelentősebb kereskedelmi központja. Csillogó felhőkarcolói már messziről hirdetik elképesztő gazdasági hatalmát. A fények városának is nevezett metropoliszban vezették be először 1882-ben Thomas Edison találmányát, a villanyvilágítást. A várost bevilágító káprázatos éjszakai fényár azóta is igazi védjegyei közé tartozik. De vajon hogyan vált New York a gazdasági becsvágy és az építészeti bravúrok következtében a világ egyik leggazdagabb városává?
English Summary:
The quintessential urban oasis, New York is home to millions and stands today as the very definition of America. But, how did New York grow from a humble Dutch settlement called New Amsterdam to the home of the world's first suspension bridge and the very center of the immigration wave of the early 20th century? Watch as the latest computer animation techniques trace the topographic history of New York - "growing" it from the barren shelter of Five Points to today's Manhattan.
