Summary

"Moving forward after the destruction of the Twin Towers was a daunting task, made more difficult by the numerous competing claims on the site and the varied opinions on how it should be used in the future. Contentious City brings together the voices surrounding this intense debate, and helps to make sense of the rival interests vying for control over one of the most controversial urban development programs in history."--BOOK JACKET.
