  1964 New York World's Fair Newsreels
  

  ---

  The 1964/1965 Fair was conceived by a group of New York businessmen who fondly remembered their childhood experiences at the 1939/1940 New York World's Fair and wanted to provide that same experience for their children and grandchildren. Thoughts of an economic boom to the city as the result of increased tourism was also a major reason for holding another Fair twenty-five years after the 1939/1940 extravaganza. Then New York City Mayor, Robert Wagner, commissioned Frederick Pittera, a producer of International fairs and exhibitions and author of the history of International Fairs & Exhibitions for the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Comptons Encyclopedia to prepare the first feasibility studies for the 1964,1965 New York World's Fairs. He was joined by Austrian Architect Victor Gruen (Inventor of 'The Shopping Mall') in studies that eventually led the Eisenhower Commission to award the world's fair to New York City in competition with a number of American cities seeking to hold the event.
