World Trade Center
The World Trade Center in
New York City (sometimes informally referred to as the WTC or the Twin Towers) was a complex of seven buildings in
Lower Manhattan, mostly designed by American architect
Minoru Yamasaki and engineer
Leslie Robertson and developed by the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It was initiated in 1960 by a Lower Manhattan Association created and chaired by
David Rockefeller, who had the original idea of building the Center, with strong backing from the then-
New York governor, his brother
Nelson Rockefeller. The World Trade Center, New York, like most all World Trade Centers located around the globe, belonged to the family of
World Trade Centers Association.
Larry Silverstein held the most recent lease to the complex, the Port Authority having leased it to him in July 2001. The complex, located in the heart of New York City's downtown financial district, contained 13.4 million square feet (1.24 million m²) of office space, almost four percent of Manhattan's entire office inventory at that time.

Il World Trade Center di
New York City,
USA era un complesso di sette edifici per la maggior parte disegnati dall'architetto Minoru Yamasaki e dall'ingegnere Leslie Robertson e sviluppato dall'Autorità Portuale di New York e New Jersey. Il complesso era situato nella parte sud dell'isola di
Manhattan (in inglese Lower Manhattan), famoso in particolare per le torri gemelle o Twin Towers, e per l'attentato dell'
11 settembre 2001 che le distrusse. Con il crollo delle torri (denominate WTC 1 e WTC 2) anche gli altri edifici minori (WTC 3, WTC 4, WTC 5, WTC 6 e WTC 7) furono distrutti o danneggiati irreversibilmente, e quindi abbattuti nei mesi successivi.
