Park update: From 7am – 3:30pm on Monday, March 18 and Tuesday, March 19, the High Line will be partially closed between 23rd and 30th Streets due to construction. Visitors can enter and exit at the 23rd Street stair/elevator and the 30th/10th Street stair. The entrances from Hudson Yards, the Connector, and the Spur remain open.
The High Line gets a lot of hype, but it is just one example of the many ways community leaders and creative thinkers are reimagining public space. The Beyond the High Line series of free talks seeks to discuss the future of adaptive reuse projects and public open space around the world.
Presented by Friends of the High Line with support from The Seed Fund, this video features Enrique Peñalosa, former Mayor of Bogotá, Colombia, and Majora Carter, of MCG Consulting leading a panel discussion and answering audience questions about the process behind building and sustaining equality in public open space.
