Magnificent Three: Cities That Shaped History

From 1600 to the present, Amsterdam, London and New York (The Magnificent Three) have each contributed to the birth and development of the “world-city.” This new urban concept was filled with ambition that would play out on a global scale and gave rise to a radically new form of city landscape, still recognizable today. This series revisits 400 years of ruthless competition for supremacy that saw the rise of architecture, myriad great minds, and the vibe that these cities represent today.
