SELF MOMENTS

#10 Strolling on the High Line in New York
MICHELE DEL RE, IL SEGRETO DEL GIARDINO DEL SOGNO


It is definitely wonderful to share the Rebirth in a place, especially if that place matches a disused infrastructure in a big city.

The High Line is a linear park in New York City, built in a section of the former West Side Line elevated railroad, part of the New York Central Railroad. Thanks to an intelligent and accurate work of urban renewal, supported by the Friends of the High Line (an association founded in 1999 by far-sighted citizens of NY) now you can walk "suspended" between Manhattan and the West Village, enjoying the spectacular view of the city that this park offers from its raised position. The beauty of the High Line is also in the fact that large tracts of original tracks have been preserved and harmoniously integrated with the green and with biocompatible furnishings.

A bold project has become a fine example of agritecture, an American term indicating the union between agriculture and sustainable architecture, making this part of the Big Apple a greener, kinder and more livable city. Well done NYC and happy Rebirth!
