| Neighborhoods are constantly evolving, says New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman, who at the beginning of the pandemic took his readers on virtual walking tours throughout New York. His new book, The Intimate City, is a collection of interviews with the architects, designers, activists and historians who accompanied Kimmelman on his strolls, taking him through various neighborhoods to places that hold special meaning to them. The result is more personal than a history book, more grounded in the past than a guidebook, and more packed with building lore than any normal conversation is likely to be, Sarah Holder writes. She sat down with Kimmelman to talk about the power of walking cities, differences in perspectives across generations, and what he thinks of New York City's resilience after ruminating on so many of its neighborhoods.
