"I would say that this has probably been the greatest planning fiasco
in the history of the world. Daniel Libeskind's prize-winning design,
a flexible, schematic concept that established a framework of
achievable, creative possibilities, has been progressively purged by
political pandering and economic pragmatism. The Port Authority's own
brutally detailed report earlier this year gave some cogent reasons
why a strong, unified vision of civic and urban renewal on a plane
worthy of a great city could not survive."
