520			_aThe High Line was built in New York city in the 1930s as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. It lifted freight traffic 30 feet in the air, removing dangerous trains from the streets of Manhattan's largest industrial district. No trains have run on the High Line since 1980 and it was under threat of demolition when, in 1999, Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group was formed. Working in partnership with the City of New York, the organization has worked to preserve and maintain the structure as an elevated public park. They held a competition to redesign this space for open public use and this book describes the winners' design ideas. It includes design renderings, maps, and photographs depicting the High Line from its construction in the 1930s through its current re-construction into New York City's new public space. When all sections are complete, the High Line will be a mile-and-a-half-long elevated park, running through the West Side neighborhoods of the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea and Clinton/Hell's Kitchen. It features an integrated landscape, combining meandering concrete pathways with naturalistic plantings.
