WTC Path Station in New York City
About the new World Trade Center mall and transportation station, Calatrava says "I think it will give the place a lot of life. Westfield wants to build one of the best shopping areas in the city, and I think it belongs there. It’s not just a mall— you can get a coffee there, you can go to the market, or you can buy some bread on the way home. This is a source of life for those kinds of places. This is also culture; it’s a fundamental part of the whole installation. It’s not going to be just commuters going to the place, but even people living in the neighborhood."
