The Wall Street Journal’s architecture critic has written that the World Trade Center’s redevelopment is the “greatest planning fiasco in the history of the world.” In a scathing critique, the critic, Ada Louise Huxtable, says the project lacks a proper leader who can maintain its vision while dealing with its politics and practical problems. Huxtable says there are so many stakeholders that the site will just be a series of real estate deals rather than a symbol of rebirth.
