About the book
"The reconstruction of the World Trade Center's ruins will undoubtedly be one of the most expensive planning and construction efforts in history, and certainly the most publicized event of its kind. And what emerges will have an enormous impact on all New Yorkers. But in assessing the result, the paths that were not considered are just as important as the ones that were. Starting from Zero offers a stirring indictment of the process that did happen - business and politics as usual, mostly - as well as a robust vision of what could have emerged from the Trade Center's destruction if a more democratic planning vision had been pursued."--Jacket.
First sentence: THIS TRAGEDY HAS A PARTICULAR BEARING FOR US AS ARCHITECTS: BUILDINGS CAUSED THE DEATHS OF THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE.
