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.
