Description
From a rusting weed-covered relic of obsolete urban infrastructure, the High Line has emerged as perhaps the most famous new urban park in the world. It has also become a magnet for world-class architects to showcase their work. With easy access to the many galleries, shops, and stores in the neighborhood, the High Line is radically changing the Lower West Side. In a richly illustrated lecture, Bill Keene shares the story of how the High Line came about, has prospered, and inspired similar projects around the world. He also examines the latest developments on the High Line and what that may mean for the future.
