The majesty and extent of his public works have no analogue anywhere in the world. Shielded from normal democratic accountability by independent agencies, working in almost total secrecy, sustained by a fawning press and generally grateful public, he wove a concrete web of parkways throughout the metropolitan area, soldered together the fractured boroughs of New York with bridges and tunnels, and surrounded the city with green parks and white beaches. Through the control of public authorities and commissions he exercised unprecedented influence over the physical development of the entire state and especially its metropolis.
