Issues: Landmarks & History

The heart of the financial district, an existing designated historical area, is the crade of both New York's and America's history. Many downtown buildings are landmarks. Other lower Manhattan areas have been proposed as historical districts. And Historic Battery Park is itself a tourist destination, a way station to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty historical monuments. How can the rebuilding of lower Manhattan celebrate and preserve its history?
