About this item
The most comprehensive, up-to-date, and acclaimed guide to the High Line by the leading expert on the history of the park -- now in a fully revised edition. Built atop a former freight railroad, the "park in the sky" is regularly cited as one of the premiere examples of adaptive reuse and quickly became one of New York's most popular destinations, attracting more than 8 million visitors a year. This updated Third Edition of On the High Line -- published to coincide with the fifteenth anniversary of the park's opening -- remains the definitive guide to the park that transformed an entire neighborhood and became an inspiration to cities around the globe.. In short entries organized by roughly two city block sections, the guide provides rich details about everything in view on both sides of the park.
