Shot in 1967, Lyon’s photographs offer a more nuanced and human 
perspective of the destruction of the old lower Manhattan, one that is 
often paved over by history books.
MADRID — Over the course of 1967, Danny Lyon 
<https://hyperallergic.com/tag/danny-lyon/> meticulously chronicled the 
large-scale demolition project taking place in his backyard, as his 
one-hundred-year-old neighborhood was razed to make way for New York’s 
transformation into a global financial center. Taken as a whole, his 
project wicks traces of the contemporaneous urban renewal debate

that raged between community-based activism (Jane Jacobs) and top-down 
planning (Robert Moses). Simultaneously, each of the exhibit’s 76 
black-and-white photographs offer a more nuanced and human perspective — 
one that is often paved over by history books.
