Ever since 9/11, there has been no more vocal and articulate critic of the fate of Ground Zero than architect and social critic Michael Sorkin. He has been writing furiously about the future of New York and lower Manhattan in the pages of The New York Times and books like After the World Trade Center. He has also been an attendee at all the major local forums on post-9/11 planning. His perspective has been very critical throughout the long process, especially toward the powers-that-be charged with rebuilding the devastated trade center site. Sorkin contends that the entities in charge of redeveloping the site are highly resistant to democratic participation, and instead are guided by real estate and commercial interests concerned primarily with maximizing rental and retail space revenues. Their initial instinct was to replace what was there before, offering plan after plan of massive office towers, with some even higher than the old trade center itself. And this comes despite a massive overabundance of vacant office space in lower Manhattan. Livre - Livre, [PU: Routledge]<
