In the gaps, new buildings were beginning to rise, units of planned medical, residential and civic centers, set among broad avenues and spacious parks. Examples: ¶ In New York, a $40 million Columbus Circle project, almost finished, will include a 10,000-seat Coliseum, 528 apartments and a 20-story office building.
