The Timescapes video at the Museum of the City of New York was a very dynamic and informative presentation of New York City history. The fast moving, varying images on each of the three panels successfully represented the rapid and changing development of New York City over the last few hundred years. While the video effectively captured the physical development of the city, it did not show much of the interpersonal and intercultural relationships that shape New York cultural and socioeconomic development. The video was only 22 minutes, but in that span of time, the images and language used to describe the history of NYC could be altered and expanded to represent social impacts on and of the city’s development. For instance, when the video briefly presented Robert Moses’ role as a city planner, and alluded to his influence on socioeconomic and community development through his infrastructural plans, the images could have done more reflect the changes that his highways, parks, and roads did to change the community structures, real estate values, and accessibility to community spaces and resources. Although the city itself is significant, the people that have lived in the city should be given greater attention in the Timescapes video to more accurately and effectively display the city’s development and history.
