general situation

New york City, located in the center of the Greater New York Metropolitan Area, is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world with a population of 22 million. It is one of the largest and most advanced cities in the world, and it is also the center of international economy, finance, transportation, art and media, and is regarded as the representative of urban civilization. In addition, because the United Nations is headquartered in this city, it is also called "the capital of the world" by the world. New york also has many world-class museums, galleries and performing arts competition venues, and is one of the cultural and entertainment centers in the western hemisphere. With a population of more than 8 million (living on 309 square miles of land) and a large number of immigrants from more than 80 countries, it is often nicknamed "Big Apple". In addition to these overseas immigrants, this city is also home to many foreign Americans who want to experience a more international lifestyle than other parts of the United States. New york has a great influence on the world and is also the center of media, finance, banking and politics in the world (because the headquarters of the United Nations, the largest international organization in the world, is located in new york). In addition, new york is a financial center that controls the global economy. Wall Street, a street in the city, is a place with great influence on the world economy. People often say, "Wall Street coughs and the whole world has a fever." It is a metaphor for the powerful influence of Wall Street on the world economy. For all these reasons, new york is called a "world-class city" by the world.

history

The horizon of new york.

When New York City Hall first colonized North America in Europe, Lenape people lived in this area all the time. 16 13 years, the Dutch established New Amsterdam and New Holland here. 1640, Peter Stuyvesant was appointed governor, 1652, the colony was granted autonomy. 1664, Britain conquered the colony and changed its name to new york, because a city in Britain had already been named York, and the British Minister of the Navy at that time was James, Duke of York, the younger brother of King charles ii. The Dutch later regained the colony in August 1673 and renamed the city "New Orange", and then the colony was ceded to Britain permanently in June +065438+6674 10/0, 65438.

After the British recaptured the colony, it was renamed new york City again, surrounded it and was not allowed to develop. Finally, the Battle of New York broke out, which was a series of major struggles in the early days of the American War of Independence. From then on, new york was under British administration until the end of the war, and it was the last port from which Britain moved out.

According to the US Constitutional Convention, 1788, 13 September, new york was the temporary capital of the newly established United States until 1790. 1825, the Erie Canal was put into operation, and new york's economy also developed and became an economic center.

During the American Civil War, there were many disturbances and chaos in new york, such as the New York mob, 1863 new york draft riot. Some of them became the deadliest riots in American history.

From 65438 to 0904, a series of new transportation systems in new york began to operate, the most famous of which was the new york subway, which helped to consolidate new york. A large number of immigrants in Europe have brought great changes to society, while the anti-capitalist trade union IWW (world industrial workers) has been suppressed. Later, in the1920s, a large number of African-Americans moved from the southern United States to new york City, while some people helped build skyscrapers and created the world-famous Manhattan skyline.

During the Great Depression, new york was also affected, and during the Second World War, new york also played an important role.

Since the two world wars, new york has become the dominant city in the world, but since 1950, new york's economy began to decline, leaving only industry and commerce. In the 1970s, the crime rate in new york rose to a dangerous level, so it became a notorious crime capital. However, since Giuliani came to power, the law and order in new york has been greatly improved.

On 2001September 1 1 day, terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, killing almost 3,000 people. These include WTO staff, passengers on two commercial jets, and hundreds of firefighters, police and emergency personnel.

traffic

Major projects: New York traffic

Grand Central Station is an important transportation hub in new york, where many railways and subways meet.

Kennedy International Airport is not only the main international airport in Greater new york, but also an important entrance and exit in the northeast of the United States, and it is also a vital air transportation hub for the American economy. New york is the largest and most crowded city in the United States and the largest metropolitan area in the world, so the traffic flow in this city is huge. During rush hours or holidays, there are often a large number of people and cars flowing between downtown Manhattan or the five major districts, which often leads to traffic jams on important trunk roads and bridges outside the city.

The traffic flow between new york and its surrounding areas is huge, so the new york metropolitan area with new york as the center also has units set up by the state governments alone or in cooperation with each other to provide the traffic demand in the Greater new york area. There are a large number of commuters in new york, New Jersey and Connecticut, and there is a great traffic demand in the Greater new york area every day, which makes the Greater new york area have the most developed public transportation system in the United States. Compared with most other cities in the United States (especially L.A.), new york people commute mainly by bus, subway and ferry, and new york subway is one of the largest public transportation systems in the world. In addition, there is a magnetic card ticketing system-Metro Card, which can be used between new york subway and buses. It is a passenger preferential system implemented by the New York City Government to promote mass rapid transit. Because this reform makes the transfer between new york subway and bus more convenient, it is widely welcomed by citizens and tourists. Shortly after the issue of 1997, the number of passengers in new york's mass transit system has reached 27 million.

In addition, due to the complexity of rivers and ports in new york, a large number of bridges and tunnels are a major feature. These bridges and tunnels have made great contributions to the development of new york, especially to Manhattan Island, which is surrounded by water, because bridges are the only way for people to travel between downtown (that is, Manhattan) and suburbs, and so are tunnels. But every rush hour, bridges and tunnels have become traffic bottlenecks.

In addition to the developed transportation in the metropolitan area, there are frequent exchanges between new york and other parts of the United States. Through the developed and complicated railway and highway network, new york residents can travel to and from cities all over the country more quickly and conveniently. In addition, new york is located in the northeast of the United States, close to Europe and the busiest North Atlantic route in the world, so air and sea transportation with all parts of Europe is very busy.
