The High Line is a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. Between 1934 and 1980, the High Line carried trains through Manhattan’s largest industrial district, and after nearly 30 years of disuse, in 2009, the first phase of the High Line opened as a public park. This WalkShop will follow the length of the High Line and will explain how it was transformed from an abandoned rail viaduct into a successful new public park.
