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.
