Before the High Line proffered progressivism through its programming, other contributors to the book note, it cast cold, hard capitalism in concrete. In recent years, mountains of ink have been spilled about how the ills facing contemporary New York and cities around the globe have been exacerbated by the High Line's complicity ...

Since the opening of its first section in 2009, this unique greenway has exceeded all expectations in terms of attracting visitors, investment, and property development to Manhattan’s West Side. Frequently celebrated as a monument to community-led activism, adaptive re-use of urban infrastructure, and innovative ecological design, the High Line is being used as a model for numerous urban redevelopment plans proliferating worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeconstructing the High Line\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to analyze the High Line from multiple perspectives, critically assessing its aesthetic, economic, ecological, symbolic, and social impacts. Including several essays by planners and architects directly involved in the High Line’s design, this volume also brings together a diverse range of scholars from the fields of urban studies, geography, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. Together, they offer insights into the project’s remarkable success, while also giving serious consideration to the critical charge that the High Line is “Disney World on the Hudson,” a project that has merely greened, sanitized, and gentrified an urban neighborhood while displacing longstanding residents and businesses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeconstructing the High Line\u003c\/i\u003e is not just for New Yorkers, but for anyone interested in larger issues of public space, neoliberal redevelopment, creative design practice, and urban renewal.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eList of Figures and Tables\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e High Line Timeline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: From Elevated Railway to Urban Park\u003cbr\u003e Brian Rosa and Christoph Lindner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I    Envisioning the High Line\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1    Hunt’\u003cbr\u003es Haunts\u003cbr\u003e James Corner\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2    Community Engagement, Equity, and the High Line\u003cbr\u003e Danya Sherman\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3    Loving the High Line: Infrastructure, Architecture, and the Politics of Space in the Mediated City\u003cbr\u003e Alan Smart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part II    Gentrification and the Neoliberal City\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4    Parks for Profit: Public Space and Inequality in New York City\u003cbr\u003e Kevin Loughran\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5    Parks (In)Equity\u003cbr\u003e Julian Brash\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6    Retro-Walking New York\u003cbr\u003e Christoph Lindner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part III    Urban Political Ecologies\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7    The Garden on the Machine\u003cbr\u003e Tom Baker\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8    The Urban Sustainability Fix and the Rise of the Conservancy Park\u003cbr\u003e Phil Birge-Liberman\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9    Of Success and Succession: A Queer Urban Ecology of the High Line\u003cbr\u003e Darren J.
