Reclaiming the High Line 1999–2002

How a derelict railway became open space

Mobility

The Project Team

The project team–an architect and an architect/writer–studied the High Line’s history, physical conditions, local zoning, current land use and community needs. The Fellows also led a series of advisory sessions with community members, development experts and design professionals.
