Hello lxluthr and thank you for the question.
Apart from the obvious and terrible human tragedy, the billions of
dollars that have been spent (and will be spent) as a result of 9/11
are staggering! below I have provided some resources to help you with
your art project. In order for the figures to be reliable as
possible, I have tried to use governmental sources.
------------------------------------------------------
The cost to New York City: About $89 billion
"The economic cost to the city from the attacks on 9/11 will total
between $83 billion and $95 billion."
The above is broken down as:
"It will cost $21.8 billion to replace the buildings, infrastructure
and tenant assets lost as a result of September 11"
"Job losses attributable to 9/11 have already cost the city more than
$17 billion in lost wages."
"The attacks have cost the City nearly $3 billion in lost taxes and
nearly $500 million in unreimbursed expenses."
The above figures can be confirmed at:
"One Year Later, The Fiscal Impact of 9/11 on New York City,"
"http://comptroller.nyc.gov/bureaus/bud/reports/impact-9-11-year-later.pdf"
"Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for New York City, Conveyed in
Public Laws 107-38 and 107-117 (In millions of dollars)

The world’s insurance industry took an estimated $50 billion hit. The
cost to insurers will be passed on to all of us, but primarily to
businesses.
An airline industry spokesman estimated in October that the world’s
airlines may have lost as much as $15 billion due to passenger and
freight cut backs"
