Default Cirrus crash in NYC

Can someone explain these VFR corridors around Manhattan?

In the UK, when flying VFR we should always fly so that we can always

I cannot see how a VFR corridor up a river surrounded by skyscrapers is
compatible with that concept.

Does the FAA guidance require pilots to be able to land clear of
built-up areas?
