Introduction

The High Line Park is a unique elevated garden located on the west side of Midtown Manhattan, New York. Originally a railway freight line connecting the meatpacking district to the Hudson Port at 34th Street, the park was completed in 1930. However, by the 1980s, the railway became outdated and the High Line Park faced the threat of demolition. Thanks to the determined preservation efforts of the FHL organization, the High Line Park was able to survive and was eventually transformed into this one-of-a-kind elevated garden promenade. With its beautiful scenery and rich history, the High Line Park has brought enormous social and economic benefits to New York, and has become an outstanding representation in the fields of international design and historic preservation.
