Only by bringing back the Twin Towers will we show the whole world that we have recovered and that the terrorists did not win.
We shouldn’t allow the work of our enemies to change our skyline. In remembrance of victims, names could go on the walls of the rebuilding of the original twin towers. The rebuild shows we are strong and will “get back up again” no one can keep us down. One tower that’s completely different is an insult.
I truly believe that genuine creation is and has always been the only worthy answer to destruction. What troubles me most is that the real choice feels like a victory for the worst tendencies of modern planning: risk aversion, bureaucratic fragmentation, endless rationalization leading to nothing. The sad irony is that one of the most remarkable landmarks in the world was finally buried by the very system it once represented. Instead, the city accepted the absence itself as something sacred and permanent. I do not believe that anchoring the loss is the same as preserving memory, nor do I believe it is a worthy option for a city that strives to fill the void, create, and achieve more. My generation deserves to witness the New York skyline anchored by two towers, both monumental and elegant.
I agree that the Twin Towers should have been rebuilt, stronger and taller, as a huge rebuke to our attackers. I am very disappointed with the current One World Trade Center building, strong and safe as it is, because to me it represents a sort of cop-out to rebuilding what we lost. The Twin Towers were iconic, and should be rebuilt in an even more iconic, taller form. They could easily be built on the two footprints between the existing memorial, and serve as a triumphant rebuke to those who would harm America.
My great aunt died after contracting a 9/11 related disease, she moved to NYC in the 1960s. I thought the towers and the plaza were beautiful. I always dreamed of seeing the towers but my dream never came true due to this disgusting atrocity, and I’d like to hopefully live the dream someday…
The WTC towers were iconic and represented freedom of the west and cultural prosperity. The WTC period (1971-2001) can be considered as humane, hopeful and peaceful. The US was looked upon by other nations and it was cherished. Rebuilding the old World Trade Center complex would signal the world a positive message of the US returning to change the world into a better place once again.
Years after the events of September 11, New York has changed, but the void in the skyline remains. For millions of people around the world, the Twin Towers were more than just steel and glass — they were a beacon of strength, ambition, and American greatness.
Today, we see new buildings, yet we feel that the city has lost a part of its soul. We are not calling for the demolition of what has already been built, but we are demanding the correction of a historic injustice. The reconstruction of the Twin Towers is not merely an architectural project; it is a moral duty.
Chicago’s story is one of bold vision and unstoppable drive. These towers are more than buildings; they are a symbol of our city’s spirit and a promise of thousands of new jobs, lasting prosperity, and a skyline we’ll all be proud of. Imagine telling your children you stood with the generation that propelled Chicago forward. The risks are far smaller than the cost of letting another city seize this chance. This moment is about honoring our legacy and securing Chicago’s future. Let’s make history together, and let’s make it Chicago’s.
TTA Note: As noted below the next comment, the signatures on this site undersign a petition that plainly supports rebuilding the Twin Towers at Ground Zero. We believe that is the only way to “truly heal the heart of America.” That will not change. But we occasionally allow comments and links that propose building elsewhere, in recognition of their passionate support for the symbolism of new Twin Towers. We have added a link to the project. Good luck!

Hi my name is Donald Niblick and I remember seeing the Twin Towers in the 1976 King Kong movie as a kid and I am going to organize a walk called Rebuild The Twin Towers March. We will have the event broadcasted on live TV during the Coast Guard Festival Parade on July 29 to August 1 2026. Look up this link and sign the petition and spread the word as we will start looking for volunteers to organize the walk. If we can Rebuild the Twin Towers it could invigorate the economy and boost financial power and help create jobs and become a symbol of peace, prosperity and pure joy on earth. The Rebuild The Twin Towers March will be held in Grand Haven Michigan on July 29 to August 1 2026. Alright let’s spread the word!
TTA Note: The signatures on this site undersign a petition that plainly supports rebuilding the Twin Towers where they stood. We believe that is “the only way to truly heal the heart of America.” The Change.org petition that this comment links to is very well written and the proposed walk is worth posting here — but we believe that new Twin Towers will only “become a symbol of peace, prosperity and pure joy on earth” when they rise from their footprints, as the TTA proposal sets forth. When the finished plan is released, we have faith in its power to move mountains.
To build twin towers bigger, taller stronger, better than befoe,so the entire country and world can see. Thank you, have a great day.
They were beautiful towers, and I really wanted to see them. It’s sad they didn’t rebuild them, because I still wish I could see them.
I was born 9 years after 9/11, but the Twin Towers have always amazed me. I have never seen a building that sparked such curiosity and admiration in me, and their absence makes the Manhattan skyline feel incomplete. I support the rebuilding of the Twin Towers not only as an architectural symbol, but above all as a place of memory, history, and a legacy for future generations. May the spirit of these towers remind us of resilience, solidarity, and hope. Warm greetings from Poland to everyone around the world who supports this initiative.
Rebuilding the twin towers would be the only way of showing the world that NYC has finally recovered. It would make clear that terror and hate would never be able to harm or break the western world.
As someone who wasn’t born when they were around I have for some reason been fascinated with them for years and wish they would be rebuilt so a new generation can experience them and so we can heal as a nation.
The twin towers need to comeback in some form. It is necessary to heal our nation and will truly be an inspiration for generations of Americans to come. Thank you to The Twin Towers Alliance for being one of our voices.
Rebuild the beautiful towers and bring back what we lost!
The current tower may rise high, but it doesn’t carry the weight of meaning that the Twin Towers held. That silent strength. That brutal clarity. It’s gone.
I’ve read about your work, and it moves me. I didn’t even know such a movement existed until recently. But now that I do, I feel compelled to add my voice. Please don’t give up. The idea of rebuilding at least one of the original towers — maybe even the South Tower — feels to me like healing. Not erasure. Not forgetting. But remembering
honestly.
I believe we can honor the dead not just with reflection, but with the courage to restore what they were once a part of — those enormous, stubborn, unforgettable towers. I believe that would mean something to millions.
Thank you for carrying the torch all these years. You’re not alone.
With all my heart, Alimkhan
TTA: Alimkhan left another beautiful message before this one that we will include here…
I’m writing this letter with a heavy heart and deep reverence. Though I never saw the Twin Towers in person, they’ve left a mark on me unlike anything else. I often feel overwhelmed — not just by sorrow, but by a strange longing, like I lost something essential without ever having touched it.
The original World Trade Center towers were more than just buildings. They were honest. Massive. Raw. Unapologetic. They didn’t try to please everyone — and that’s precisely where their strength lay. They weren’t sleek or trendy or desperate to be loved. And yet, people did love them, deeply and fiercely. Because they stood for something real.
Every time I look at the new skyline, I feel pain. Not because I reject progress — but because it erased something sacred, something true.
