Description: On the High Line by Annik LaFarge, Rick Darke Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description 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 editionBuilt 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 Yorks 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 parks 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. Illustrated with more than 115 black & white photographs, it covers historic and modern architecture; plants and horticulture; important industries and technology innovations that developed in the neighborhoods the park traverses, from book publishing and food distribution to the introduction of cold storage and the development of radar, the elevator, and talking movies. Updated to include newly opened sections of the park, this edition also features a new conversation pertaining to the more controversial side of the High Lines story and how it became a poster child for the most grievous manifestations of gentrification and inequity in public spaces. Author Annik LaFarge provides a frank discussion on how the parks leadership created a platform for discussing these issues and for advising other projects on how to work more inclusively and from a social justice and equity perspective.On the High Line serves as an educated travel companion, someone invisibly perched on a visitors shoulder who can answer every question, including what was here before, moving back in time through the early 20th century, the Industrial Revolution, and the colonial and pre-European times when this stretch of what we call Manhattan was home to the Lenape people, and much of it was covered by the waters of the Hudson River. A companion website with more than 650 photos - historic, contemporary, rooftop and aerial - can be viewed at HighLineBook.com.
