The High Line NYC: a railroad transformed into a park

By Iwan Baan 2011 (source: The High Line)

Another example of a wonderful, poetical sustainability project: The High Line Park in NYC. How a railroad built in the 1930's, on which the last train rode in 1980, firstly was overtaken by nature, then risked to be destroyed, finally was transformed into a wonderful public park.
