Summary:

The rebuilding of Ground Zero is the most architecturally, politically, and emotionally complex construction project in recent American history. The struggle to develop these sixteen acres of sacred lands has encompassed twelve years, nineteen government agencies, and over $20 billion. Aside from the engineering challenges, various constituencies-politicians, developers, architects, insurers, local residents, and relatives of 9/11 victims-profess conflicting claims to the site.
