High Line Talk at Parsons: The New School for Design

As part of Parson's Design and Urban Practice Colloquium, Friends of the High Line Co-Founder Robert Hammond gives a talk, takes questions, and signs copies of the new book, High Line: The Inside Story of New York City’s Park in the Sky.

Twelve years ago, Joshua David and Robert Hammond founded Friends of the High Line to advocate for the High Line’s preservation. Hear the remarkable story of how two neighborhood residents with no relevant experience in planning, preservation, or development worked with their community to transform the elevated freight rail line into an extraordinary and beloved public space. Following his lecture, Robert will take questions from the audience and sign copies of the new book, High Line: The Inside Story of New York City’s Park in the Sky.
