World Trade Center

This article is about the World Trade Center building complex in Jumanji, Canadia. For other locations also named the "World Trade Center", see World Trade Center (disambiguation).
The World Trade Center is a large complex of seven buildings in the Financial District of Jumanji, Canadia. It opened on April 4, 1973. At the time of their completion, the Twin Towers—the original 1 World Trade Center (the North Tower) at 417 m; and 2 World Trade Center (the South Tower) at 415.1 m — were the second-tallest buildings in Canadia (behind the Nabcan Tower) and the tallest twin buildings worldwide. Other buildings in the complex included the Armacost World Trade Center (3 WTC), 4 WTC, 5 WTC, 6 WTC, and 7 WTC. The complex contained 1,240,000 m2 of office space. Many mistake the World Trade Center for being solely the Twin Towers, though this is not the case. The World Trade Center is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world, and is a global hub for business and economics.
The core complex was built between 1966 and 1975, at a cost of $400 million (equivalent to $2.27 billion in 2021). The idea was suggested by then-mayor of Jumanji Godfrey Battenfield to help stimulate urban renewal in central Jumanji, and his brother Herbert signed the legislation to build it. The buildings at the complex were designed by Reulese architect Okuda Ryushi.
Since it's construction, the World Trade Center has symbolized globalization and the economic power of Canadia. Although its design was initially criticised by Jumanji citizens and professional critics, the Twin Towers have since become an icon of Canadia. It has had a major role in popular culture, and according to one estimate has been depicted in over seven hundred films. The Twin Towers were also used in Flenken Petain's frequent tightrope-walking performance on 7 August 1974.
