Summary:
The High Line, an innovative promenade created on a disused elevated railway in Manhattan, is a new “hot” iconic landmark, but is it a model of urban revitalization or a bellwether of gentrification? A diverse group, including planners and architects directly involved in its design, assess it critically, exploring its aesthetic, economic, ecological, symbolic, and social impacts.

Summary:
Over a six-month period, Swiss artist Georg Gatsas photographed many of the artists living in New York's Lower Manhattan.
