Redevelopment Six Years After 9/11

On the 6th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, we'll look at where redevelopment stands at Ground Zero. Why has the construction of the Freedom Tower been delayed? When will Larry Silverstein’s 3 towers be completed? How does Governor Eliot Spitzer compare to Governor Pataki on the redevelopment issue? What will the September 11 memorial look like? What do ballooning costs mean for the Santiago Calatrava-designed World Trade Center Transportation Hub? Joining Leonard to assess the status of redevelopment are Dr. Eugenie L. Birch, Professor of Urban Research and Education and the Chair of the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania, Rick Bell, Executive Director of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and Ethel Sheffer, President of the New York Metro Chapter of the American Planning Association.
