Though most famous for being responsible for the City’s bridge and highway infrastructure, he was also important in the realization of the United Nations, Lincoln Center and Shea stadium. He was at the same time, quite controversial for several reasons but mostly because to build these kinds of infrastructures you need to make room and sometimes relentlessly.
