The September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center had profound effects on the well-being of New York City.

The authors describe and assess the strengths and weaknesses of the city’s response to the public health, environmental/ occupational health, and mental health dimensions of the attack in the first 6 months after the event. They also examine the impact on the city’s health care and social service system.

The authors suggest lessons that can inform the development of a post–September 11th agenda for strengthening urban health infrastructures.
