Here's the Lower Manhattan Development Corp's official presentation of the plans. Really they are variations on one plan, which has yet to prove inspirational. People want something special out of this, but the bureaucracy is ill suited for innovation. I think it's likely that the process will be tinkered with, but whether a leap of imagination can be accomplished is more dubious. Warmongers like the NY Post keep pushing for something truly impressive, i.e. phallic. They recently published a poll claiming that half of New Yorkers want the towers rebuilt just as they were.
