Manhattanization
Manhattanization was a pejorative word used by critics of the highrise buildings going up in San Francisco, California during the 1960s and 1970s, who were concerned the skyscrapers would block views of the surrounding hills. The term "Manhattanization" has been applied to Miami, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada recently, in an economic light.
