  • The Politics of Planning the World's Most Visible Urban Redevelopment Project
    The Politics of Planning the World's Most Visible Urban Redevelopment Project Lynne B. Sagalyn THREE YEARS after the terrorist attack of September 11,2001, plans for four key elements in rebuilding the World Trade Center (WC) site had been adopted: restoring the historic streetscape, creating a new public transportation gate- way, building an iconic skyscraper, and fashioning the 9/11 memorial. Despite this progress, however, what ultimately emerges from this heavily argued deci- sionmakmg process will depend on numerous design decisions, financial calls, and technical executions of conceptual plans-or indeed, the rebuilding plan may be redefined without regard to plans adopted through 2004. These imple- mentation decisions will determine whether new cultural attractions revitalize lower Manhattan and whether costly new transportation investments link it more directly with Long Island's commuters. These decisions will determine whether planned open spaces come about, and market forces will determine how many office towers rise on the site. In other words, a vision has been stated, but it will take at least a decade to weave its fabric. It has been a formidable challenge for a city known for its intense and frac- tious development politics to get this far. This chapter reviews the emotionally charged planning for the redevelopment of the WTC site between September 2001 and the end of 2004. Though we do not yet know how these plans will be reahzed, we can nonetheless examine how the initial plans emerged-or were extracted-from competing ambitions, contentious turf battles, intense architectural fights, and seemingly unresolvable design conflicts.

The Holocaust Museum along with the Anne Frank Haus spoke to me; the stories behind the lives of these beautiful people subjected to nothing but hate for who they loved and who they were. The educational component to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. spoke volumes to me. To follow the journey of a Holocaust victim... For Pulse, I see a blend of all of this. To learn the stories of why so many sought refuge and enjoyment there. Why did so many leave their "families"? Because they could not be who they were.

  • Songs of Loss: Springsteen and 9/11 the Basics Time Required 1-2
    Songs of Loss: Springsteen and 9/11 The Basics Time Required 1-2 class periods Subject Areas Middle School Humanities Contemporary America, 1968-present Common Core Standards Addressed: Writing Standards K-5 Author Terra Bialy (2004) The Lesson Introduction Bruce Springsteen (b. 1949) wrote the songs “You’re Missing” and “Empty Sky” for his CD titled The Rising (Columbia, 2002) as a response to the events of September 11, 2001. Springsteen’s home county of Monmouth in New Jersey lost 158 people on 9/11. Within days of the towers collapsing, Springsteen began writing songs. These two songs were inspired by discussions that he had with two New Jersey widows who lost their husbands when the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed. Guiding Questions What do you know about the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Learning Objectives Students will present responses to and interpretations of literature, making reference to the literary elements found in the text and connections with their personal knowledge and experience produce interpretations of literary works that identify different levels of meaning and comment on their significance and effect write stories, poems, literary essays, and plays that observe the conventions of the genre and contain interesting and effective language and voice. Preparation Instructions Songs used in lesson: • “You’re Missing” Bruce Springsteen • “Empty Sky” Bruce Springsteen Lesson Activities Introductory learning activities: • Begin by reading the monologue “A Very Intriguing Train,” page 127 from With Their Eyes. • When you finish the reading ask students to write a response to the question “What do you remember about the events of September 11, 2001?” Students should then share their responses with a partner.
