High Line Landscape Performance Series

The High Line is a 23-city-block-long elevated railway reclaimed as an extraordinary public open space in the heart of Manhattan’s West Side. It spans three distinct neighborhoods: The Meatpacking District, West Chelsea, and Hell’s Kitchen/Clinton. The original elevated railway was completed in 1934 in response to the inefficient and dangerous conditions on the avenues, with their mix of trains, trucks, and pedestrians. By 1980, the railway was abandoned as interstate trucking had replaced much of the freight rail system.
