Barbara Littenberg & partner Steven Peterson, also well-known design practitioners from NY, present their entry into the Ground Zero competition, as well as other urban design projects that are characterized as ReUrbanism. Each side takes strong exception to the other's work, leading to a heated discussion moderated by Roy Strickland, Dire
