I think the World Trade Center should be rebuilt but it should be built much bigger and higher than it was before.
In February 2003, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation chose architect Daniel Libeskind's design for rebuilding the 16-acre site of the former World Trade Center. The design includes a hanging garden, a memorial, a cultural center, and is topped by a spiral tower reaching 1,776 feet tall, which will make it the tallest building in the world. Libeskind estimates it will cost 330 million dollars and take more than ten years to rebuild the site. This design is from a second set of plans shown to the public; the first group was critized for its overemphasis on office space.

I think the architechs drew it with regard that there is a big difference between a symbol and creating rentable space. There are a lot of people in the NY area that are not going to want to work on the 102nd story of a landmark building anytime soon.
