I may have been born 8 years after these beautiful creations came crashing down, ripping apart so many peoples lives but I still feel a special connection to them.
The original World Trade Center has something that the current site does not possess. To me it is the pure symbol that is shown through it. The towers projected the American dream, the strength in our peoples freedoms.
To rebuild what we lost is not an insult to those who died, but a way to remember. To show that the terrorists may have struck us but we have come back in spite of the murder of our friends, family, co workers, and more.
Although I have never been to New York, let alone ground zero, I still see pictures of these buildings and I imagine the huge scale of them, looming on the horizon. I want that to be reality.
I believe the towers should be rebuilt because of the history and symbolism they held for new york and the country as a whole. The timing is right, its been over 20 years and I don’t believe the buildings will trigger trauma responses from victims (only if they are NOT rebuilt on the original site). And while I wish they could’ve been rebuilt on the original site, it wouldn’t be feasible considering most of the new complex is finished. As long as the towers are in new york city, I’m fine with whatever spot they’d be rebuilt. I was born in 2000 my mom worked in the financial district until 2002 so I grew seeing ground zero and being so intrigued by the missing towers. I know I’m not the only one with this relationship the towers, and new yorkers deserve a chance to see them again in person.
Here are some reasons why the Twin Towers should be rebuilt:
The Twin Towers were an iconic symbol of New York City and the United States. Rebuilding them would be a powerful statement of resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
The new World Trade Center complex, which replaced the Twin Towers, has been criticized for its design and lack of character. Rebuilding the Twin Towers would restore the skyline to its former glory and provide a sense of continuity with the past.
I believe that new Twin Towers should be built. Incorporated in some way into the new World Trade Center complex. The original Twin Towers ll proposal seems to be out of the question. But there is still time to reconstruct what is so desperately missing from the Lowrr Manhattan/Financial District skyline.i like many others was not around to witness the original World Trade Center complex in all of its glory prior to September 11th, 2001. I think a new set of Twin Towers would benefit New York and the United States as a whole. The gap would be refilled once more and the memorial pools would continue to act as a reminder of what was lost that day. I sincerely hope some day this mission is somehow accomplished.
Phoenix North and Phoenix South. That is all. Nothing less will suffice, on multiple fronts. Make it affordable apartments and space for non office related businesses, like an arcade, indoor airsoft arena, etc. make the impact floors a musuem and memorial place. So much good can come from them. We just need 7 billion dollars to make it happen…
there must be a no hideing from the fact of what did happen here, & there allways has to be a mamorial for the bombing & 9/11 , but at the same time, the towers should & could be rebuilt, bigger stronger & safer then ever before! i look forward to that happening! & i no many others feel the same
They absolutely need to be rebuilt.
The twin towers.. as a Canadian I was never able to see the towers I wasn’t born in time but I will allways want to it’s different just looking at a photo from now and 2000 it’s just not the same we need to build these towers I HAVE FULL SUPPORT build these towers take it to the limit and make it the tallest building in the world and make it a structurally strong and call the towers WTC 0
I was born a few months after the attacks, am neither a new yorker nor an american in general, but I loved the towers ever since I learned about them. From comparing photos of pre-9/11 New York to photos of the city today, I always felt, that something’s missing, that New York has a whole other vibe to it. The Twin Towers just have to return, to finally make the Skyline complete and to show the terrorists a middle finger.
I belive thst the current design is “not good” (l would say something else but l won’t). I was born in 2010, so l never got to see the twin towers myself. But jus looking at the pictures made me realise how great these behemoths were. Considering a large percentage of 9/11 affected families wanted the twin towers to be rebuilt, the current design is not a great one.

Never Forget
I was born in 2009, 8 years after the attacks. So, obviously, I myself didn’t live a life with the Twin Towers or live through the September 11th Attacks. But even so, I have always honored the day by watching documentaries and annually constructing my micro Twin Towers/WTC complex moc in Lego bricks. I always find that I really do love the towers that aren’t there any longer. I feel a deep anger towards the terrorists who not only took the lives of nearly 3,000 American citizens, bu
Be strong: rebuild the Twin Towers to be even more beautiful than before!
As an Architect and engineer practicing in New Yrok city for more than 37 years I have grown to know that the Twins were as modernism should be. That’s to say the most efficient buildings ever built. If the Towers were there today they would undoubtedly be considered for renovation into Eco-Hospitals. At 2 acres yielding 220 that’s a must. So the towers will be back and it will start with smaller versions. Please see my gofundme and click the read more for details. Feel free to donate if you wish:

I think that rebuilding the Twin Towers would be a great symbol of hope, power and resilience.
People from all walks of life passed on9/11/01to continue all walks of life.
Even though I was against the construction of One WTC for the same reasons as the TTA at first, I had really made the effort to try and like the new tower thereafter. However, it is hard not to conclude, after all these years, that the citizens of America and the world have been sold short at Ground Zero. Looking at what was initially promised, and then, how it all turned out to be, the “World’s Greatest Compromise”, as B1M on YT succinctly pointed out in their video recently.
I feel like rebuilding the Twin Towers would ensure a way to a more safe and a more harmonious, peaceful world. Balance is key here. The events in the past two decades on the geopolitcal arena that have been unfolding shows the need for it. Peace and progress starts at rebuilding the Twins.
I have had an undying love for New York for as long as I can remember, but one thing was always missing from all my photos. Well, two things to be precise. I feel as though the twin towers were, are, and will be symbols of strength and prosperity, but with new towers in place of the old ones they would also be symbols of undeniable victory.
I would like to see the Memorial and Museum to be relocated off site in a respectful way and have the twin towers rebuilt, eventually 1 WTC and other towers would be deconstructed from the top down. It was the worst idea to not rebuild the twin towers and whoever built this in their place should be ashamed.
I would like to see the twin towers rebuilt becuase they both represent how America is a thriving nation that is very strong and can with hold anything from its enemies. By not rebuilding the twin towers, we let our enemies laugh at us, and have treated us with disrespect. The freedom tower should never have been built. The building is a disgusting building. It does not represent the power of the United States of America. The twin towers do represent so many things that America has fought for. Every one wanted the twin towers and today still every one wants it to be built. There shouldn’t have been another design of the tower. I was born in 2003 and I never have experienced the twin towers before in person. Rebuild the twin towers stronger like never before and taller.
