As I am a foreigner from Germany currently visiting the US, I had the Chance of seeing New York by accident because I missed my connecting flight to Dallas. It was absolutely fascinating, even more than I had imagined it. I have been to bigger cities like Shanghai, but none of those had this urban and, at the same time open feeling like New York. If the world should have a capital, it has to be New York. When I visited Dallas though, the inner city felt completely empty, even with the many skyscrapers. It felt like someone had simply placed the buildings there for no reason. I couldn't do anything without stepping inside a car and driving somewhere for twenty minutes, which completely eliminates the purpose of a city. Urban sprawl and inner city highways have destroyed so many American cities, which makes New York stand out even more to me.
Phm07 New York blows Texas out of the water . I go to manhattan every year I love it . It's expensive but worth every single penny. U get meet so many tourists from all over world . I agree NYC is the capital of the world. See u in NYC🗽
Pretty much every city in the Mid Atlantic is the go to for visiting America Boston New York Philadelphia Baltimore Dc Providence The only exception outside of the Mid Atlantic is Chicago
New York is the alpha world city and nothing like America except it's the ultra competitive extreme version of American capitalism derived from the old European economic system.
I visited NY about 6 years ago, I loved the city and the people so much. I'm from Sweden but my parents are from the middle east, yet I still felt at home in NY. After my consultancy contract ended, I spent about a week in Manhattan. Sometimes me and my friend used to just sit on a curb and have a cold drink. I cherish the experience so much, that to this day I still have a goal of buying an apartment there. I miss you NY, hope to see you soon.
katten elvis yea I'm from SE Michigan and you hear quite a bit, downtown is becoming the PLACE to be, although it's less well known and he wouldn't do a video on it Ann Arbor (home to university of Michigan) is also popping as well
Yes, and particularly in the borough of Queens. Many people only think of Manhattan but there is so much culture and sights to explore in the other boroughs of New York.
I googled “How many languages are there?” And got this answer: “ It's estimated that up to 7,000 different languages are spoken around the world. 90% of these languages are used by less than 100,000 people. Over a million people converse in 150-200 languages and 46 languages have just a single speaker!” So I can see what you mean by there being more languages than simply 400.
As a New Yorker, I was excited to see this pop up. It was great to see you covering the Hudson Rail Yards, and 2nd Ave Subway project, along with the problems of the MTA and Real Estate market. I do wish you spent more time on the future though, New York's past is a great topic (Moses' plans, Immigration, Social Movements, Erie Canal), but I'm not sure it needed the emphasis it got. Maybe I'm just used to the Megaprojects videos
I for one really enjoyed the past commentary. The future is harder to cover in a fact-based video like most of the ones he makes. If you're looking for commentary on the future of the city, I'm sure there's plenty of intellectual discussions at universities and by policy makers you can find (or even attend).
I'm Egyptian from Alexandria, Egypt's second biggest city and I can't wait for Cairo! I love your channel, always a great positive vibe to it. Can you do Los Angeles in the near future? #NotificationSquad
Mr Seboss had to look up what Kahire was, but yes I agree, and what I think about Mamluk Turks isn't very positive because of their treatment of minority groups such as Copts and general restrictions they applied that are still in place today in Egypt and cause problems
Mr Seboss it is not a big deal, it's in past history and it was a small empire for a comparatively short period of time, most people most likely are neutral of them and don't have a positive or negative view of them
What I have always liked about New York, or particularly Manhattan, was the absence of the urban American sprawl and the kitschy homogeneous commerce and the lack of architecture that comes with it. Too many placed in America can be exchanged with other places without you even knowing, as they looks all the same. Manhattan is unique and the architecture is real. While the housing and office building of so many cities and suburbs in the southeast and southwest will be torn down after only decades, the buildings of New York will still stand hundreds of years after they were built. New York will become a great old city like London and Paris. I can’t imagine anything in places like Houston or Atlanta lasting hundreds of years.
As a native New Yorker, I can say that we represent the best and worst of the world today. Yes, we are modern, rich, dynamic, "vibrant", and tolerant (to a point), but we're also filled with corruption, over-regulation, inequality, and yes, discrimination. New York City is the most segregated city in the US in terms of residential areas. One can see where each racial group lives quite clearly, with little overlap in most areas. The unions have the city's public infrastructure by the throat, and work progresses very slowly and at tremendous cost so as to benefit the union workers at the public's expense. This is why it's taking decades just to build a single subway line. The subway system was mostly built in just a few decades, with each line taking only a few years at most to build. The Empire State Building went up in roughly 11 months, now it takes years or a decade just to build something half as tall. To top it off, it's almost impossible to start a new business in the city without spending a ton of capital and time just in licensing, regulatory compliance, and obtaining permits. Entrepreneurship built this city; without it, we'll struggle to keep up against areas which allow for more efficient business creation, such as Texas. And this isn't even getting into the high taxes or expensive land. The gap between the rich and poor is one of the widest in America, public school are terrible (charter schools are little better), and the city's budget largely depends on just a few hundred thousand high-income workers in the financial sector, little manufacturing remains in the city limits, and racial gaps in wealth persist with little or not change since 50 or 60 years ago. We're hardly as good as we once were relative to our peak.
Great job TDC. Can you do similar mini documentaries on Shanghai, Tokyo, Istanbul, New Delhi, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Moscow, Seoul, Cairo, Sydney, London and Paris? Many cities in China are ridiculously big too but let's do one for each country first =). Oh yeah, do one on Tehran too. Iran is so under-represented in the internet. Thanks.
You should do Chicago. In my eyes, it's the second largest US city. If it was allowed to annex suburbs like Los Angeles did and be the same land size as LA, Chicago would be larger by over 1 million people.
Just stayed in New York for a couple days for the first time. Wow! What a massive, diverse, breathtaking city. It's bigher and greater than you first realised. I've been before but not to where I've actually have walked around the city for hours and riding on buses. The experience was something else. I still can't get over how huge everything feels. How it would take a life time to see it all!
I should not be surprised as many people do, but you left out what actually MADE NYC what it is today. Elevated and subsequent Subway system. Before 1915, many parts of Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx were undeveloped and many of the city's poor were still confined to Manhattan below 14th Street. The 1913 Dual Systems Contracts (Dual because it was an agreement between NYC and the IRT and BRT) were specifically created for the purpose of providing new subways to these areas ripe for housing development. This new housing would not only provide a better quality of life for the poorest residents, but would also introduce them to better opportunities and San overall greater health. Many parts of New York City are have only hit the 100 year mark in the last couple of years. it was then the population skyrocketed again.
Love the video - I've been here twice and there's something about the city that makes you feel alive and that you're part of a living, dynamic system. I 've lived in other major cities and visited some large metropolis but New York makes anyone feel alive.
I'm born and raised in NYC, been living here most of my life and I love it - it's the greatest city on Earth. The biggest challenge facing NYC is overcrowding... all the other problems (subway delays, rising prices, gentrification, traffic) are largely based on that. Income inequality is also a big issue although that's throughout all of America, not just NYC (it's just more obvious in NYC).
2:25 Mistake there, In the 17th and 18th Century the Netherlands was called the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands - it had no Monarchy or Crown.
As an Australian who hasn't been overseas in his life, I gotta say that New York seems like one hell of a place after watching Seinfeld and How I Met Your Mother, and listening to hip hop artists from Harlem, Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan. It's definitely on the bucket list, though a fear of heights stops me from visiting the main tourist attraction other than the Statue of Liberty haha.
The Gooner : London is a great city (and one of my favorites) but I am more than confident that London isn't as diverse as New York (especially considering the different ethnic groups that live there.) Older yes...better? Subjective and extremely debatable. I will say this...London is definitely more expensive than NYC!
May I suggest a idea to explore on cities. I'm Canadian, live in Montreal. I have visited the USA, mostly in the Northeast and Southeast. The US and Canadian are very similar in many aspects: City development, city grids, cars and highway infrastructure. But on the ground, I noticed so many US cities with large poor inner city neighborhoods and lack of good public transportation. In the few large Canadian cities, the inner core neighborhoods are very vibrant w good transportation systems. Why is that? Why not research and do a video on this topic.
You mention one short documentary in the description, but I'd suggest to those interested in New York's history to check the 18 hours long film: "New York: A documentary Film". To this day it remains one of the best and informative 'mega-documentary' I've watched. Everything's one youtube, start with the first part "New York History Volume I 1609 1825"
Don't go to New York, it's a great place for visiting but living there is a whole another level. If you wanna live in Manhattan, the heart of the city, be ready to pay $3000 rent for a 1 bedroom apartment. And Brooklyn too if you go near the Fairview market. The cheapest place if you're buying a house are either the Bronx or eastern Queens around Jamaica state. It's around 600k to 750k as the cheapest.
York is the capital of the English county of Yorkshire and is also where from New York has gotten it's name, as mentioned in the video. Since it was founded by the Romans ca 71 AD I would say it qualifies for the name Old York even though it keeps its name due to being the original
Congress was forced to flee to Princeton, New Jersey, on June 21, 1783,[3] and met in Annapolis, Maryland, and Trenton, New Jersey, before ending up in New York City.
I am from iraq and i will come visit new york this summer and hopefully try to stay at the plaza hotel or the ritz or just anything facing central park
Best doc on NYs history has to be New York a Documentary Film. Its a Ken Burns series of 8 1.5-2 hrs films. Although I have to say, this was a great little mini doc of the city
You should do a video on Philadelphia. It's a big city with a developing downtown. Population about 1.5 million. I feel like it could be a major contender one day on a global scale.
My dream city. So sad that US embassy keeps on rejecting my visa, just because I am from a country with high immigration risk called Kyrgyz Republic. But mainly our migrants are moving to Moscow because of sharing same language requirements. But I won’t give up until I am alive.
Your obviously not someone who was born in New York....otherwise you would have known that New York City is made up of the boroughs manhattan, queens Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island

I also hate when people refer to new york there only talking about one city and when they refer to the city the only are refering to one borough manhatten lmao how ironic. Its the only state where when it is talked about the only care about a small part of one city
I've been in NYC, is my second most visited foreign city (first one being Newark), I love it. I think what makes NYC what it is, is its people, there is every peace of the world in that mega city.
Can you cover Toronto? Even some of the smaller cities can still be classified as mega. We have one of the largest stock exchanges in the world, and over 9.5 million people live in the greater golden horseshoe area, which is actually smaller in area than the ny Metropolitan area
Leon TicklePickle Thank goodness for the Metro Red/Purple Lines to exist. They’re the only transportation to travel more than 70mph in densely Los Ángeles compared to the 101, 5, and 10 freeways which are 55mph to 60 mph.
whathell6t Japan its up to 200 mph with a booming populous larger than any city in America, now that place is a mega city. I'm brown boy seriously considering moving there.
First and my home! BTW you forgot to mention how NYC is the "Urban" Culture capital of America. Basically, rap culture, hip hop, rising stars, acting, Starbucks, "ghetto culture". Dominicans along with Putero Ricans being the highest minority group with African Americans. It's just such an amazing place besides Manhattan I really hope anyone who wants to be here come here and stays.😍
English & British aren't interchangeable! Union of the Crowns of Scotland & England was in 1603 and the two nations joined parliaments in 1707. American Revolution was between the 13 colonies and the British not English......That aside great video. I LOVE NYC
I spent 4 months there one summer for work training, I had decided before I even arrived I would NOT like it. I was so wrong. It's a bit of a shock when you first arrive, mostly because of the noise, it's a LOUD place, but it has a vibe, a pulse, a HEARTBEAT that just excites you, I would move back in an instant, something I never expected to say.
Can you do a video on how to make cities beautiful and efficient. Too many cities weren't built with both form and function in mind. Many United States cities were built with a brutalistic mindset. Old world cities were built with the science and art of city and house building.
so I'd say this is why new york is one a sanctuary city! I mean new york don't have an owner ever since Minuit died the land was literally free so new york was founded by Peter Minuit Minnewit who was a Christian man, but new york urbanization was made by immigrants! okay now I understand more
What fascinates me about New York is how it went from a small shipping town in the 1800s to a city full of skyscrapers in the 1900s. Yes, Shanghai have done it in about 20 years but those were the last 20 years, whereas in NYC they built loads of relatively tall buildings so quickly nearly 100 years ago, and how was a building like the Empire State Building built in 1931? I bet at the time, no one still in Europe had seen anything like it
As I am a foreigner from Germany currently visiting the US, I had the Chance of seeing New York by accident because I missed my connecting flight to Dallas. It was absolutely fascinating, even more than I had imagined it. I have been to bigger cities like Shanghai, but none of those had this urban and, at the same time open feeling like New York.

I live near Dallas, and I agree. You should've went a little farther to Fort Worth. The Stockyards is the most beautiful place I've ever been!

Actually New York is home to more than 800 spoken languages and dialects, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.
Yes, and particularly in the borough of Queens. Many people only think of Manhattan but there is so much culture and sights to explore in the other boroughs of New York.
I googled “How many languages are there?” And got this answer: “ It's estimated that up to 7,000 different languages are spoken around the world. 90% of these languages are used by less than 100,000 people.

Ahhh. New York. It is my favourite city. I just love the modern and amazing texture! The amazing buildings are so great. No city can match this city!

I LOVE NEW YORK🥰❤️
These videos about mega cities are magnificent.
Thank you so much.
You should do a video on Philadelphia. It's a big city with a developing downtown. Population about 1.5 million. I feel like it could be a major contender one day on a global scale.
Aja Moore nah
My dream city. So sad that US embassy keeps on rejecting my visa, just because I am from a country with high immigration risk called Kyrgyz Republic. But mainly our migrants are moving to Moscow because of sharing same language requirements. But I won’t give up until I am alive.
400 languages!! New York🌷🌹⚘
I love your videos. They are awesome. A wealth of information in them. Thanks
Hate when people talk about New York City and forget about the other four boroughs.
The four other boroughs are part of New York City, which is part of New York State.
Your obviously not someone who was born in New York....otherwise you would have known that New York City is made up of the boroughs manhattan, queens Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island
I also hate when people refer to new york there only talking about one city and when they refer to the city the only are refering to one borough manhatten lmao how ironic. Its the only state where when it is talked about the only care about a small part of one city
So happy I discovered your page! It’s perfect...informative and entertaining. 👌🏻🙌🏻
I live there, not that crowded even the city center.
Your videos are awesome. Good history, storytelling, and inspiring. Thank you.
Actually, Philadelphia was the capital just before Washington DC.
J.R. Productions And before Philly.It was New York and should of always been NY
I've been in NYC, is my second most visited foreign city (first one being Newark), I love it. I think what makes NYC what it is, is its people, there is every peace of the world in that mega city.
Do one on Chicago
O'hare has eaten bensenville alive, also return the elgin-o'hare to a freeway! We need metra to extend lines (build the STAR line!)
Chicago is not a mega city.
HypergeometricTest hater
Shubham Machhi Cubs!!
HypergeometricTest whatever country your from, America is better
Make a video about Bogota, Colombia, please. Your videos are quite good.
please never stop making these videos!
Great thanks for connecting and providing information
Can you cover Toronto? Even some of the smaller cities can still be classified as mega. We have one of the largest stock exchanges in the world, and over 9.5 million people live in the greater golden horseshoe area, which is actually smaller in area than the ny Metropolitan area
God, your videos are SO awesome!!!
LA has a long long long long long history
la traffic :(
Leon TicklePickle Thank goodness for the Metro Red/Purple Lines to exist. They’re the only transportation to travel more than 70mph in densely Los Ángeles compared to the 101, 5, and 10 freeways which are 55mph to 60 mph.
whathell6t Japan its up to 200 mph with a booming populous larger than any city in America, now that place is a mega city. I'm brown boy seriously considering moving there.
New York is the most iconic thing (or rather, large group of things) that exists on Earth.
Do a megacity video on São Paulo please
I really enjoy these videos. Thank you
Can you please do a video on Chicago
Fair Verona no! Y'all can't just enjoy something without wanting inclusion. This ain't about you.
Fair Verona .no we don't have time to make video, we want you to focus on your meantlity.
Chicago is not a mega city
Amazing content, you should have more subscribers
First and my home! BTW you forgot to mention how NYC is the "Urban" Culture capital of America. Basically, rap culture, hip hop, rising stars, acting, Starbucks, "ghetto culture". Dominicans along with Putero Ricans being the highest minority group with African Americans. It's just such an amazing place besides Manhattan I really hope anyone who wants to be here come here and stays.😍
I was born in bedstuy brooklyn, can't wait to come back in a few years!
FreedomKing4568 starbucks is seattle and rap is LA hispanics are miami Damn new York copying culture
Omar Haji you have no idea what you are talking about
New York's gay
Nolan S Greenwich Village is Gay-Park Slope is Lesbian, The rest of the city isn't so much
YESSSS CAIRO, THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME
;)
English & British aren't interchangeable! Union of the Crowns of Scotland & England was in 1603 and the two nations joined parliaments in 1707. American Revolution was between the 13 colonies and the British not English......That aside great video. I LOVE NYC
These videos is really interesting. =)
Are you going to do LA/ Southern California 😲
LA is not a mega city or even a city at all
I spent 4 months there one summer for work training, I had decided before I even arrived I would NOT like it. I was so wrong. It's a bit of a shock when you first arrive, mostly because of the noise, it's a LOUD place, but it has a vibe, a pulse, a HEARTBEAT that just excites you, I would move back in an instant, something I never expected to say.
Pls make a video about MUMBAI plzzzz
Oh man shoutout to the real MVP: Alexander Hamilton
Can you do a video on how to make cities beautiful and efficient. Too many cities weren't built with both form and function in mind. Many United States cities were built with a brutalistic mindset. Old world cities were built with the science and art of city and house building.
NYC has the best vibes I have ever visited.
so I'd say this is why new york is one a sanctuary city! I mean new york don't have an owner ever since Minuit died the land was literally free so new york was founded by Peter Minuit Minnewit who was a Christian man, but new york urbanization was made by immigrants! okay now I understand more
Dr Richard M NYC is a great city minus the politics and the rowdy minorities (not all of the minorities are bad)
That went from 0 to 100 real quick! This is seriously one of the best cities in the world in my opinion.
make a video on mumbai
PowerTrain nah,Mumbai would be Indians shitting everywhere
really ??
uttam das love you bro
Takahiro edgy don’t cut yourself on the xenophobia

30 years ago Shanghai was like what NY was 400 years ago 😝
These videos are just excellent
Can you do montreal or Vancouver
Nice video I love it.
My city Bronx NY
My city England
BK bro
JDBass36 not a city tho
Congrats the ugliest borough
The Bronx*
Awesome video!!
New york has a nice skyline
What fascinates me about New York is how it went from a small shipping town in the 1800s to a city full of skyscrapers in the 1900s. Yes, Shanghai have done it in about 20 years but those were the last 20 years, whereas in NYC they built loads of relatively tall buildings so quickly nearly 100 years ago, and how was a building like the Empire State Building built in 1931? I bet at the time, no one still in Europe had seen anything like it
True.
do a next video on Mumbai
Thanks Vishal
