We are marking the 50th anniversary of Robert Caro’s The Power Broker. The massive biography of New York’s longtime “master builder” Robert Moses was published in 1974. It became a must-read for aspiring New York politicians, journalists and urbanists, completely transforming the public’s perception of the previously-lionized Moses. And it also changed how many New Yorkers viewed their city, and the surrounding region.

Mitchell Moss, an urban policy and planning professor at NYU, talks with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about The Power Broker's legacy.
