NYC High Line Inspires Other Cities to Follow Suit

This Curbed NY collection chronicles some of the many proposed NYC High Line “copycats” currently in the review process. While the tone of the write ups indicates a bias that suggests nothing con compete with the High Line, the amount of spin off projects shows how the success of one green reclamation project can inspire others to pursue the same goals in lieu of further development. Jersey City, for example, wants to convert its Harsimus Stem Embankment into a public park instead of allowing the current owner to destroy the structure and build homes.
