Lower Manhattan Development Corporation: The Plan for Lower Manhattan
Awfully definite name for a loose collection of proposals, projects, and developments. <<The plan for Lower Manhattan calls for the public and private sectors to partner in support of Lower Manhattan's growth and revitalization beyond the borders of Ground Zero, and to strike the appropriate balance between the commercial uses planned for the World Trade Center site and the need to develop Lower Manhattan as a viable, full-service New York community.>>

"In one corner, there's the Kensington-based, guerrilla design collective called Onion Flats, known for infiltrating the city with housing that is as sustainable as it is stylish. They're facing tough competition from a partnership between New Urbanist acolyte Sam Sherman and the Hankin Group, a Chester County development company that wants to give up its suburban ways."
