{"value"=>"<p>The research material reflects the preliminary work completed by Glanz in the process of creating <span class=\"title\">City in the Sky</span>. The materials are separated into five categories: Conception (1885-1973), Construction (1966-1973), Life in the Towers (1973-2001), 9/11, and Post 9/11 (2001-2003). The majority of the documents are secondary sources such as copies of articles, court cases, expert reports, biographies, and publicly available transcripts of meeting minutes. Topics covered include Radio Row, the enclave of shops and businesses displaced by the World Trade Center project, research on the LeClede Steel Company, which provided steel for the original towers, and expert reports on the assessment on structural and architectural damage brought about by the 9/11 attack. Research on Austin Tobin, the head of the Port Authority from 1942 to 1972 is held here, as well as transcripts of the 2002 court cases regarding insurance pay outs on the towers.</p> <p>Glanz and Lipton interviewed dozens of individuals in regards to the creation, construction, and eventual destruction of the World Trade Center. These interviews exist in partial transcript form throughout Glanz's research notes. There are also 49 audio recordings containing complete interviews. These include interviews with Larry Silverstein, engineer Carl Palermo, first responders (both firemen and ironworkers), and many others involved with the initial design and construction of the towers as well as those who worked at Ground Zero.</p>"}
