Empire State Building_Teaser

The Empire State Building is more than a landmark—it’s a story of ambition, speed, and resilience forged in the middle of the Great Depression. In this episode of Historical Projects, David Jenkins and Associate Professor Tillmann Boehme unpack how a 102‑storey skyscraper rose at a staggering four‑and‑a‑half floors per week, reshaping New York City and redefining what humans can achieve under pressure. If you enjoy engineering marvels, leadership lessons, and stories of bold vision, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
