“Everyone supporting the High Line project wanted the park to embrace(环抱)the city,”says Danya Sherman,director of public programs for the Friends of the High Line.The Friends of the High Line is the group that saved the railway from being destroyed.Sherman believes that public spaces such as the High Line have the power to bring communities together.
The park also gives visitors a chance to experience nature in an urban environment.The designers have allowed the park to keep the overgrown(杂草丛生的)feeling that it had when it was an abandoned track.If you visit,you can see birds,butterflies and many plants native to the northeastern United States.
The Friends of the High Line organisation hopes to expand the park even further,over an area that is still used as a rail yard.The High Line has also inspired projects in other cities,including Philadelphia,Chicago and Amsterdam,where people hope to build new parks on old railway tracks.
