On a cold afternoon in late January 2002, I found myself on the thirtieth floor of the mostly abandoned American Express Building adjoining the site of the 9/11 World Trade Center disaster. Along with several other members of my firm—a midsize New York construction company—I was scheduled to meet with officials of the New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC). This particular meeting concerned projects in other parts of the city, but if one wanted to speak with the agency's key people, they were invariably to be found, not in their Queens office, but "downtown."
