This unpublished study referred to as the 42nd Street was carried out for the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York. William Kornblum was the project director and each section of the report was written by a different member of the study team. A printed letter from Kornblum bound in before the title page states that the report is the result of several months of research, interviews, public meetings and planning and that the material is still in the process of revision.
This is a fascinating study and record of Forty-Second Street as it used to be prior to the Rudolf Giuliani "clean-up". Sections include "The Social Ecology of the Bright Light District" by William Kornblum and Vernon Boggs, "Forty-Second Street at the Crossroads: A History of Broadway to Eighth Avenue" by Stanley Bruder, "Markets in the Bright Light District", "The Sex Entertainment Industries on 42nd Street" by Charles Winick, "Street Drug Markets and Hustling" by Terry Williams and Vernon Boggs, "Crime and Law Enforcement in the Bright Light District" by Jennifer Hunt, and "Urban Design and Social Control."
Rare.
