00:00But why New York City has two urban agencies completely different?
00:03Here is Houston Street.
00:05In the north of this street, everything is organized in damier.
00:08The streets are numbered from the 1st to the 220th,
00:11and the streets are numbered from the 1st to the 12th.
00:14But in the south of Houston Street,
00:16we have the impression of penetrating into a completely different world.
00:19The streets have names like Canal Street or Battery Place,
00:23turning without following regular traces.
00:26We could think that this south is difficult to walk.
00:29And yet, many New Yorkers prefer this chaotic system in green north.
00:34Why so?
00:35What is the origin of these two urban landscapes?
00:37The street in damier north was so badly planned by the Americans
00:41to give the city an organized aspect,
00:44like other cities of the United States.
00:46In the other hand, the south, with its streets tortures,
00:49is more appreciated than New Yorkers,
00:51because it was originally built by the Colombian European
00:54in the 16th and 17th centuries,
00:56which offers a charm and historical history.
