Today’s News - Friday, April 26, 2002

For those of us who can't attend the Regional Plan Association's Regional Assembly in midtown Manhattan this morning, we lead today's news with a link to the Civic Alliance to Rebuild Downtown New York's presentation. The article includes an overview of its proposals for developing not just the World Trade Center site, but most of Lower Manhattan into the "world's first 21st century urban center." There is also a link to the complete draft summary. The report is not only site-specific, but should prove to be a valuable reference for anyone interested in urban development and renewal - anywhere.
