I follow this account on instagram. The history is fascinating. There's a lot about Robert Moses on there (obviously) and they cover other cities as well

Any good book recommendations on the development of NYC in 20th century?

Off the top of my head, I couldn't think of anything, but went and dug up this list for you that might have some good ones. https://www.brickunderground.com/live/nyc-history-best-books

The page that I mentioned refers a lot to the "The Power Broker" which is a very long book about Robert Moses, and I've seen people recommending it for the history on why certain decisions were made affecting the city's infrastructure at the time.
