What is it: Recycling a disused train line the stretches across a few districts of Manhattan to give alternative transport routes, more green spaces and options for local communities. Some of the locals in the meat packing district were against the idea initially but it’s now become a major attraction and property prices near it have shot up, silencing their criticism.
Why is it cool: Although cities are cramped there are little patches of unused space that the community can use to its benefit. Even just down the road from our office we have little community gardens! If you’re in the neighborhood, check it out!
Where to find it: here!
