He built Jones Beach State Park and the facilities at Lincoln Center and multiple roadways and bridges. In a span of forty-five years as an unelected official he transformed the infrastructure of the New York and revolutionized the philosophies of how cities are designed and structured. Tom Brennan was born and raised in New York City during the time of Robert Moses. He will approach these persons and events from the viewpoint of a person who lived, worked and experienced firsthand the transformation of the city.
