Discover the story of how the Twin Towers came to dominate New York’s skyline.
From the decline of Lower Manhattan in the 1950s, to the powerful role of the Port Authority and the Rockefeller family, to architect Minoru Yamasaki’s bold vision, this episode traces the creation of the World Trade Center step by step.
Learn how engineers pioneered new solutions like the slurry wall, the framed-tube structure, and sky lobbies, and how the towers transformed into cultural icons, symbols of ambition, modernism, and life in the city.
