2001年9月11日上午10:28，世界贸易中心的北塔和南塔相继倒塌，造成近3000人丧生1。这两座塔楼于1970-71年竣工，其中北塔高417米（1368英尺），加上天线后达527米（1728英尺），曾长期主导曼哈顿下城的城市轮廓1。
其后的重建过程重塑了纽约的天际线。一号世贸中心由设计师David Childs操刀，于2014年开放，高度定为541米（1776英尺），以纪念《独立宣言》的签署年份1。二号世贸中心则由Norman Foster设计，预计于2031年完成1。原双子塔所在的遗址如今成为9/11纪念馆，设计为两个蓄水池，象征"可见的缺失"1。
The collapse of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, marked a turning point in New York City's visual identity.1 The North and South towers fell at 10:28 a.m., claiming nearly 3,000 lives.1 The Twin Towers themselves had dominated the Manhattan skyline since their completion in 1970–71, with the North Tower reaching 417 meters (1,368 feet) and with its antenna reaching 527 meters (1,728 feet).1
The rebuild has proceeded gradually over two decades.1 One World Trade Center, designed by David Childs, opened in 2014 at 541 meters (1,776 feet)—a height chosen to commemorate the year the Declaration of Independence was signed.1 Two World Trade Center, designed by Norman Foster, is expected to be completed by 2031.1 Where the original Twin Towers once stood, a memorial now occupies the site, featuring two reflecting pools that symbolize "the visible void" left behind.1
