- Summary:
- Jun.07 -- Many of the classic skyscrapers that define New York City's skyline have their design roots in a monumental 1916 zoning law, which established "setback" requirements for buildings above a certain height. In the heart of the Financial District, the Equitable Building, a historic skyscraper that predates the law, remains a symbol of the excesses of the pre-zoning era. (video by Raymond Schillinger).
