Book recommendations on New York City’s (particularly Manhattan) urban density?

Okay, here’s the rewritten blog post, stripped of all special characters, emojis, and symbols, and focusing on sarcasm:

Hello everyone, I am an architectural trainee from London (Part 1 Architectural Assistant) who just returned from an amazing first time trip to New York City. I particularly enjoyed wandering down the streets and avenues of Manhattan, and looking at the different building typologies that help the city be as densely populated as it is, and I was wondering if there was a book out there that explores its urban structure diagrammatically/graphically? Something on the lines of Paris Haussmann: A Model’s Relevance (Paris) or Complex City: London’s Changing Character (London), but for New York?

…and I’m still trying to figure out what to do with that. It’s like a completely random, interpretive journey through the city. I’m pretty sure I’m just stuck in a building that’s basically a walking, talking, breathing-in-your-bones monument.

Anyway, I’m going to go back to my apartment and start looking for something, anything, that actually *shows* a diagram. I’m hoping to find a book that could help me understand how these different building types interact with each other. It would be a huge help.

Thanks!

(I know of Delirious New York, but was hoping of something more graphical, and perhaps more recently published?)

Thank you all!
