Even so, the
attacks on the World Trade Center have certainly altered New York's
financial landscape. About four-fifths of lower Manhattan's office space
was let to financial-services firms. More than half of these have now
shifted elsewhere, usually to smaller spaces.
And yet. What tourists who flood the
area around Ground Zero now see, beyond the garnish souvenirs and the
walls plastered with memorials, is a place galvanized into action like
never before. The site of the World Trade Center itself has been cleaned
of several millions of tons of debris.

New
York's financial area changed after the attacks on the World Trade Center.
Many offices in Manhattan, particularly those of financial services firms,
moved somewhere else, usually to smaller places.
Ground
Zero is now a place that tourists visit to buy souvenirs and see the walls
of memorials. After the first major cleaning of debris in the area, the
zone is still being cleared. |
