Filled with more than 50,000 workers from more than 60 different countries, The World Trade Center was a bustling centre of commerce unique in size and complexity. The two towers were conceived, proposed and designed in the early 1960's. The project began construction in the late 1960's and was completed in 1973. Written by a leading expert on New York's history and landmarks, this book traces the efforts of mayors and other politicians over the years to pave the way for this supreme monument. The author weaves together the political, architectural and financial history of the area, contrasting the historic neighbourhood with familiar images of the same area 30 years on, and describing how the vision and heroism of a brilliant team of planners, engineers and builders turned a dream into reality. With magnificent colour photography, this book is a tribute to the financial heart of New York and the Twin Towers. Although the buildings are no more, their creation continues to inspire future generations as symbols of architectural ambition and human achievement. The last page of the book alone focuses on the tragedy of 11 September 2001, showing a picture of the Manhanttan skyline after the devastation, and remebering those who lives were lost.
