An analysis of the relationship between media policy and urban design, with specific reference to the influence of visual media on New York's built environment during the 1960s and 1970s. Includes DVD of the film "What is the City but the People".Introduction - The introduction first locates Imaginary Apparatus relative to previous scholarship on the relationship between media and urbanism, and then introduces the term apparatus as it has been used by Michel Foucault and his followers, and has it has been used in a related tradition in media theory - as a critical concept for the methodology of this book. Part I THE APPARATUS - The Apparatus describes a complex interweaving of media production and urban design policy in New York City during the John Lindsay mayoral administration. Part II THE CITY - Chapter 1, Spectatorship: The first essay is titled Spectatorship. This essay chronicles a 1972 study of the effects of New York City's 1960 zoning policy that granted developers a floor-area-ratio bonus for providing plaza space at the ground level. Chapter 2, Scenography: The second essay is titled Scenography. The essay traces the appearance of historic and often blighted areas within New York in film and television in the late 1960s and early 1970s - a development that would have been impossible without the conjuncture of Lindsay's media production policies and specific business developments in Hollywood discussed in The Apparatus and the parallel development of an elevated valuation of these areas evident in policies produced by groups within the New York City Planning Commission created by Mayor Lindsay. Chapter 3, Ecology: The final essay, Ecology, establishes a connection between the apparatus described in the first part of the book and emergent ecological thinking in Lindsay's Planning Commission.
