The High Line

The High Line, which runs 1.45 miles along a disused railroad line on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, is one of those successful urban projects that brings beauty to a neighborhood. Funded entirely through private donors and drives, the aerial greenway provides a park-like space where trains used to rumble through with cars full of frozen turkeys and coal for power plants. The site is well-designed and visually pleasing. Readers can learn about the project in the About tab, which provides a timeline, a design section, and photographs (including a link to the organization's Flickr page). The High Line Blog is updated regularly and features posts about the recent goings on. For anyone interested in urban renewal projects, this site offers many treasures.
