Summary:	"The reconstruction of the World Trade Center's ruins will undoubtedly be one of the most expensive planning and construction efforts in history, and certainly the most publicized event of its kind. And what emerges will have an enormous impact on all New Yorkers. But in assessing the result, the paths that were not considered are just as important as the ones that were. Starting from Zero offers a stirring indictment of the process that did happen - business and politics as usual, mostly - as well as a robust vision of what could have emerged from the Trade Center's destruction if a more democratic planning vision had been pursued."--Jacket.

After the fall
What remains
First response
The center cannot hold
A plan for downtown
Six months
Thinking inside the box
Crossing the site
The dimensions of aura
A memorial
The world peace dome
Herbert's list
The lotus
Security
A brief reconstruction
Who decides?
And then there were two
In the end the void
Back to zero.
