good: London’s Rushing to Copy New York’s High Line Park for Its Economic Effects - by Dave Burdick I don’t know what else could possibly make a city consider plans for a park “as a public experience and urban mushroom farm,” but that’s precisely the result of a contest called A High Line For London. (For my part, I’d rather luxuriate atop abandoned elevated rail lines than in abandoned subterranean ones, but maybe they’ll be laughing in London in 12 years, too—see also the “Low Line.”) Really cool.  This one might be my favorite:  “Wynne James | Bus RootsRoofs of bus shelters become raised gardens with sparrow colonies, insect hotels and miniature wildflower meadows.”

London’s Rushing to Copy New York’s High Line Park for Its Economic Effects - by Dave Burdick

I don’t know what else could possibly make a city consider plans for a park “as a public experience and urban mushroom farm,” but that’s precisely the result of a contest called A High Line For London. (For my part, I’d rather luxuriate atop abandoned elevated rail lines than in abandoned subterranean ones, but maybe they’ll be laughing in London in 12 years, too—see also the “Low Line.”)

Really cool.  This one might be my favorite:  “Wynne James | Bus Roots
Roofs of bus shelters become raised gardens with sparrow colonies, insect hotels and miniature wildflower meadows.”
