NEW JEARSY

INTRODUCTION
• JERSEY CITY , NEW JERSEY ,LIES BETWEEN NEWWARK AND NEWYORK CITY
, AND IS A FRINGE AREA OF BOTH ,WITH LITTLE CENTRAL ACTIVITY OF ITS
OWN.
• CRISSCROSSED BY RAILROADS AND ELEVATED HIGHWAYS , IT HAS THE
APPEARANCE OF A PLACE TO PASS THROUGH RATHER THAN TO LIVE IN.
• IT IS DIVIDED INTO ETHNIC AN D CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS , AND IS CUT BY
THE RAMPARTS OF THR PALISADES .WHICH IS ITS NATURAL SHOPPING
CENTER WAS STIFLE BY THE ARTIFICIAL CREATION OF JOURNAL SQUARE
ON THE UPPER LAND ,SO THAT CITY HAS NO SINGLE CENTER ,BUT RATHER
FOUR OR FIVE.
• TO THE USUAL FORMLESSNESS OF SPACE AND HETEROGENEITY OF
STRUCTURE THAT MARK THE BLIGHTED AREA OF ANY AMERICAN CITY IS
ADDED THE COMPLETE CONFUSION OF AN UNCORDINATED STREET
SYSTEM.
