What is High Line?
Founded in 2003, High Line operates as the central hub for the High Line Network, a collaborative group of industrial reuse projects dedicated to repurposing underutilized infrastructure. The organization facilitates the conversion of obsolete transit lines and industrial sites into multifaceted urban assets, including public squares, open-air museums, and botanical gardens. By integrating social service organizations and transit corridors into these revitalized spaces, High Line addresses critical needs in contemporary city planning, effectively bridging the gap between historical preservation and modern community utility. Their model serves as a blueprint for municipalities seeking to enhance urban density through sustainable, human-centric design.
