As
city, state and private property owners
began to rebuild the World Trade Center
site in Lower Manhattan — an area
critically important to the city's and
region's vitality — countless public
and private interests were involved and
affected. In response, the Design Trust
for Public Space initiated the Reconstruction
Report, a publication program devoted to
enhancing the public's understanding of
the procedures and issues involved in the
redevelopment efforts.

|
The
project launched in April 2002 and provided
timely, unbiased news regarding reconstruction
efforts. Over a 14-month period, Reconstruction
Report maintained a website and published
eight print and electronic newsletters.
It functioned as a clearinghouse of information
and a voice that linked community interests,
and it was informed and used by professional
organizations, businesses, downtown residents,
and community groups alike.
