Summary:
In the mid-1960s, New York City Mayor Robert Wagner assembled a team of the best and brightest urban designers and architects to decide the future of downtown Manhattan. After six months of drawing and discussion, they produced "The Lower Manhattan Plan", a 368-page document that was hand-typed, hand-bound, and photocopied. Only one hundred copies were made. But in spite of the limited number, this became the most influential document in determining the physical appearance of lower Manhattan. Now, as the future of downtown Manhattan is being reconsidered, "The Lower Manhattan Plan" takes on new relevance, offers new parallels for transforming Manhattan, and provides a thoughtful and careful consideration of many issues that are as pressing today as they were when the World Trade Center were just beginning construction. This complete reprint of the original document has an introduction by Skyscraper Museum Director Carol Willis and an essay by urban historian Ann Buttenwieser.

Summary:
In contrast to standard histories that counterpose the design philosophies of the Chicago and New York "schools," Willis shows how market formulas produced characteristic forms in each city - "vernaculars of capitalism" - that resulted from local land-use patterns, municipal codes, and zoning.

Refuting some common clichés of skyscraper history such as the equation of big buildings with big business a nd the idea of a "corporate skyline," Willis emphasizes the importance of speculative development and the impact of real-estate cycles on the forms of buildings and on their spatial distribution.

Immeuble qui demeura «le plus grand et le plus haut du monde» pendant 40 ans, l'Empire State Building fut, en son temps, l'opération immobilière de tous les records : 16 mois de chantier pour 200.000 m2 et 380 m de haut.

Malgré son statut d'exception, Carol Willis montre que le mastodonte répondait aussi à une règle architecturale bien américaine – selon laquelle la forme suit (d'abord)... son financement.
