  Ground Zero plans unveiled
Updated 17 July 2002, 09.36

New plans to redevelop the ground where the World Trade Centre stood have been unveiled to the public.

The six proposals are all quite similar and each includes a building, open space and a memorial.

This will replace the 11 million square feet of office and retail space lost when the World Trade Center was attacked.

The highest building would only be 85 storeys high, compared to the 110-storey World Trade Center.

The debate about what should replace the Twin Towers has been highly charged, with many victims' relatives demanding that an area be left untouched out of respect to the nearly 3,000 people who died.

But officials have emphasised the proposals are only starting points for further discussion.

The plans are rough drafts and will be narrowed down to one final design by December.
