In a partnership with New School University, New York University and Pratt Institute, Regional Plan Association has convened The Civic Alliance to Rebuild Downtown New York to develop strategies for the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan in the aftermath of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. The Civic Alliance is a coalition of more than 75 business, community and environmental groups representing a cross-section of New York and the Region that is providing a broad "umbrella" for civic planning and advocacy efforts in support of the rebuilding of Downtown New York. They were the organizers behind the 5,000 person public forum, "Listening to the City."Imagine New York

Imagine NY is working to establish a meaningful process to bring together individuals in neighborhoods throughout the region to share their ideas and visions for rebuilding downtown and memorializing the World Trade Center tragedy and responding to the impact of September 11 on the metropolitan area. Imagine New York: Giving Voice to the People's Visions, is a series of "visioning" workshops, that took place in the spring of 2002, which actively solicited the public's ideas for the future of the site, the city, and our communities.New York New Visions

New York New Visions is a coalition of 20 architecture, planning, and design organizations that came together immediately following the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. This group, representing over 30,000 individuals, has pooled the collective resources and technical expertise of over 350 professionals and civic group leaders in a pro-bono effort to address the issues surrounding the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan. The coalition made preliminary recommendations for infrastructure, planning, and design that can help make Lower Manhattan more comfortable and appealing for workers, residents, and tourists. They hope not to replace the broader public discourse, but to inform the large-scale economic and real estate development decisions to be made in the coming months.Rebuild Downtown Our Town

The R.Dot coalition is comprised of Lower Manhattan residents, businesses, community and business associations, artists, colleges, professionals, architects, designers together with public officials and appointees. R.Dot's vision is to help create in Lower Manhattan a 21st century living, working, sustainable environment that symbolizes the American spirit and its humanistic values; honors our dead; reflects our modern cultural, technological, economic and social thought, our global financial and economic leadership, and a multicultural society. The coalition's objective is to support an imaginative, sustainable design that creates the possibility of a diverse, inclusive, 24-hour residential and business community. The built design should attract and serve people who provide the intellectual, entrepreneurial, creative and technological capabilities that empower New York City's economy and the richness of its multi-cultural life. R.Dot strongly supports the design of a fitting memorial to all those who lost their lives and those who have been irrevocably changed by the tragedy on September 11.
