The High Line (New York City)

The High Line is a unique public park built on a former elevated railway line that runs through New York City’s West Side, primarily in Manhattan. Spanning about 1.45 miles, it features landscaped gardens, walking paths, and art installations, providing a green space above the busy streets. Opened in stages from 2009, it transformed a disused industrial site into a vibrant urban oasis, connecting neighborhoods and offering stunning views of the city. The High Line exemplifies innovative urban renewal and highlights the importance of green spaces in densely populated areas.
