New York and Chicago are often pitted as rivals with regards to parkland acreage (38,060 acres vs. 11,959 acres, equating to 4.5 and 4.2 acres per 1,000 residents, respectively), and this month was no different. Last week both cities released designs to the community for the next latest and greatest thing in the park world -- elevated rail trails -- and the designs couldn’t be more different.
Really interesting piece on the different design and fundraising approaches that New York and Chicago take.
Yes! Love the high line – although not sure how one couldn’t. Excited about Chicago’s design.
