After the World Trade Center: Rethinking New York City de Michael Sorkin

After the World Trade Center: Rethinking New York City: Cultural Spaces

Editat de Michael Sorkin, Sharon Zukin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 apr 2002
The terrorist attacks of September 11 have created an unprecedented public discussion about the uses and meanings of the central area of lower Manhattan that was once the World Trade Center. While the city sifts through the debris, contrary forces shaping its future are at work. Developers jockey to control the right to rebuild "ground zero." Financial firms line up for sweetheart deals while proposals for memorials are gaining in appeal. In After the World Trade Center, eminent social critics Sharon Zukin and Michael Sorkin call on New York's most acclaimed urbanists to consider the impact of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and what it bodes for the future of New York. Contributors take a close look at the reaction to the attack from a variety of New York communities and discuss possible effects on public life in the city.

Recenzii

"The contributors read like a who's who of progressive Manhattan." -- The San Francisco Chronicle
"After the World Trade Center... is a rare and unflinching lesson book on New York among the truckloads of books emerging with the anniversary of the attacks. Michael Sorkin, arguably America's most provocative architecture critic, edited the book along with sociology professor Sharon Zukin... As a whole, the book offers and unapologetic, left-of-center viewpoint. But its mining of Manhattan's deep past and often ironic present offers some important insights for the city's future." -- The Oregonian
"vividly of a moment, capturing on paper what hovers in the air...And that's the value of After the World Trade Center: It shows how, as New York faces a challenge once inconceivable, the people who love it are fearful that belligerent panic will trample deeper issues and needs." -- San Francisco Chronicle
"Global and local in outlook, reaching beyond the personal-tragedy, American-values perspective that has dominated the media, this thoughtful volume is not just for New Yorkers." -- Booklist
"[A] singularly politically incorrect radical rethinking of the whole event and the great city in which it happened...one of the most provocative and perhaps most important books yet to come out of the event." -- The Buffalo News
"After the World Trade Center... is a rare and unflinching lesson book on New York among the truckloads of books emerging with the anniversary of the attacks. Michael Sorkin, arguably America's most provocative architecture critic, edited the book along with sociology professor Sharon Zukin.As a whole, the book offers an unapologetic, left-of-center viewpoint. But its mining of Manhattan's deep past and often ironic present offers some important insights for the city's future." -- Portland Oregonian
