This lecture was very long and uninteresting. The speaker was somewhat dull and talked very fast. He described the different boros and how they came together. It was kind of a history lecture of NYC. He talked about how the 5 boros were created in 1898 which was an economic boom after the Great Depression and World War 2. New York City has been a main port for immigrants and its cultural and urban influences has made it one of the most substantial urban areas in the United States. Out of the boro of Queens he spoke a lot about Forest Hills. He also mentioned the different parks and gardens that are in the city. He showed visuals of how certain areas looked then and how they look now.
