An inspiration for the transformation of disused infrastructures into public spaces.
Situated high above the streets on Manhattan's West Side, the High Line is a 2.3-km public park constructed in 2009 on a former freight rail line. As it is elevated above ground, it provides aerial views of the city center as well as the Hudson River. One notable lookout would be the Tiffany & Co. Foundation Overlook, which also marks the end of the park. There, you will find a relaxing sundeck and a water feature, as well as public programmes aimed to educate visitors. Furthermore, the Chelsea Market Passage is a great spot for visitors to grab their afternoon snack from food-carts or cafés. Take your time to roam around this uniquely designed park and admire the naturalised plantings on the disused tracks.
