The World Trade Center 20 Years Later

Friday, September 10th, 2021

As we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11, we can see how much progress has been made on rebuilding the site where the World Trade Center once was, before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. For many who were charged with rebuilding, the past 20 years has been a process that involved not just sorting through what remained  but creating new structures that would not only commemorate the site, but add beauty to the New York skyline and be structurally stronger than the original.

They provided an update on what has been achieved so far, and what is being planned by owners and supply chains of assets that support nearly every aspect of our lives today. For example, roads, rail and transit, bridges, water systems, and smart cities. Cockerell and Flesh also explored the innovative ideas that are shaping the infrastructure business for a better tomorrow.

“Population growth rates vary across different regions, but we’re still talking about 2 billion additional people on the planet in the next 20 to 30 years,” Cockerell said.  “The United Nations predicts that the future of the world’s population is urban. Today, over 55% of the world’s population live in urban areas, but by the middle of the century that number will go up to 68%. In America, the number is already 80%, and I think this will place a huge strain on our infrastructure assets. Most of the impact will be on our roads and railways as these networks are the only way to keep our cities and countries moving.”
