On December 18, 2002, seven teams of
architects, urban planners and other designers presented nine
new sets of plans for the former World Trade Center site.
Each team worked with the same constraints on the amount of
office space, retail, cultural, and transportation amenities
that their plans were required to include, and yet their solutions
varied widely. Following a public response period, a final
design team is expected to be chosen by the end of February.
