Why was 6 WTC not included in the plans to rebuild the World Trade Center?
Upvote:-1
It is possible that there is no room for WTC 6 but it seems a impossible for there to be no room for 6 WTC since there is room near 5, and I read the wiki article for the performing arts center and (as of late 2022) it says that the performing arts center is also called WTC 6, so 6 WTC can be build near 5 and is not talked about yet or performing arts center is 6 WTC with a different name. (WTC 6 could also be the Transportation Hub, but to me is highly doubtful.)
Evidence WTC 6 could be the performing arts center: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performing_Arts_Center_at_the_World_Trade_Center

I think it has to do with ownership rights of each space: Port Authority owns Tower 1 and the transportation hub, Silverstein Properties owns 2,3, 4 and 7, the Arts Center got named after a big donor, etc. At some point someone thought a 6 would be built.

This isn't, strictly speaking, a question of history; merely one of logic and renumbering:
OLD : 1 2 3 4 - 5 6 7 -
NEW : M M M 4 3 1 2 7 5
- The site of the Old Twin Towers is currently occupied by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, rather than by any (re)numbered towers.
- The site of the Old 5th & 6th Towers has been sacrificed to house the New Twin Towers.
- The 3rd Tower has been reallocated within the former WTC area, albeit not at its former location, which is now part of the aforementioned memorial.
- The 4th & 7th Towers coincide in both numbering and location, leaving an empty 5th & 6th positions in the numbering scheme.
- The New 5th & 6th Towers would thus correspond to the fictitious locations of a previously non-existent Old 8th & 9th, thereby lying outside of the former WTC area.
- Since even the New 5th is barely in its early preliminary stages, it is therefore not entirely surprising that there is currently no talk of a New 6th.
- This could, theoretically, have been avoided by renumbering the New 7th as a New 5th, but that would have been superfluous, since they plan on (re)building it all anyway.
Claims:
there seems to be random speculation in the comments and answer
This answer doesn't make any sense and indicates it's based on armchair speculation rather than any real evidence or authoritative source
