Building a new New York

Everywhere you go in New York, there's noise of one kind or another. One of the most common sounds is construction - pneumatic drills, cranes, diggers and the sounds of construction are heard almost at every street corner, it feels. The biggest project at the moment is at Hudson Yards in Manhattan, where they're in the process of building a series of brand new skyscrapers that will add to the iconic skyline. For now, though, it's a headache-inducing roar of heavy industry. Recorded by Cities and Memory.
