Former senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan outlines his plan for revitalizing New York at the 2001 ULI conference.
"The four-term senator -- a fervent advocate of cities, with a particular passion for New York, his hometown -- spoke recently at a conference in Boston for leading city planners, developers, and architects. His message: Don't give up on cities, don't give in to fear, and find a way to begin rebuilding New York quickly to show the world that the United States will not be intimidated. The shortest route to that goal, he said, is the rehabilitation of Penn Station."
