After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, lower Manhattan was left shattered but determined to rebuild. As the debris was removed and plans were developed for the rebuilding of the site it was apparent order had to be imposed on the site. Parsons Brinckerhoff was part of the team selected to provide program and project management for this effort. The presentation will provide an overview of these efforts undertaken to coordinate the various ownership and client groups during the rebuilding of the World Trade Center complex.
Attendees of this program can expect to learn the following:
• Differences between the former World Trade Center and the new World Trade Center
• A solution for organization used by a joint venture firm at the World Trade Center
• Leadership principles for a large project
• Management principles for a large project
