Historical Background	The World Trade Center development was conceived as part of the Bunker Hill Urban Renewal Project in the 1970s. This $33 million international business complex was planned by Edward K. Rice of Conrad Associates, and it was built by C. L. Peck, Contractors and Union Parking Structures Inc. as a joint venture in 1973. The pedestrian bridge over the Figueroa Street between 3rd and 4th streets was constructed of steel and precast concrete by Kiewit Pacific Co.
