A Daring Vision For New York
5 September 2002 - 8:00am
In the last three decades New York has seen few major public planning projects. To maintain its position as a global city, New York needs to "think big."
"One way or another, something will have to replace the enormous office, retail and transportation complex represented by the World Trade Center. That new development, whatever its ultimate mix of uses, will by its very nature involve the large-scale public planning that New York once carried out almost routinely. It is no wonder that the effort to get up to speed should be marked by an almost audible grinding of gears.Yet if there is reason for concern, there is also reason for optimism."
