At the time the largest and most expensive single municipal project ever attempted, the Dual System of Rapid Transit set the pattern of growth in New York City for decades to come, provided millions of families a better quality of life, and, in the words of Manhattan borough president George McAneny (1910-1913), proved the city's physical salvation. It stands as that rare success story, of an enormously complicated project undertaken against great odds which proved successful beyond all measure. Published in conjunction with the History of the City of New York Project.
