Aerial Photos of New York City - about the 1990s
In the 1990s, the United States of America was undisputedly the most powerful nation in the world. China was still a developing country and was trying to overcome its Maoist heritage. The Soviet Union disintegrated after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The Internet was on the rise and the world economy was changing dramatically.
In 1990, the total number of residents in New York City was 7,3 million people and, in 2000, was 8 million. Crime rate continued to rise until 1990, then began to decline steadily in the following years. This was due to the new policies of New York City authorities regarding minor infractions. In 1989, the New York City Transit Authority tightened enforcement of fare evasion. In the following years, the severity extended to the passage of zero tolerance laws.
