High-Line+Park+NYC

**High-Line Park New York City**
This New York City infrastructural renewal project was recently completed in 2011. It has transformed an old overhanging rail line into a multifunctional public park that spans over 13 blocks runs north to south across the New York City grid.

Though this is a major city renewal project, it has three major components that are helpful to think about when planning on a smaller scale
 * 1) Embraces existing infrastructure and does not simply destroy the integrity of the site
 * 2) Extensively uses greenery to help make it aesthetically beautiful and welcoming to the community
 * 3) Serves multifunctional purposes to the community: Ie. running, sitting, playing
