WHY IS THE HIGH LINE SO CRIME-FREE?
Lots of attention has been given to New York’s High Line Park lately with the recent opening of its second phase. Most are talking about how it could be an influence to other cities looking to re-use their old elevated railways (St. Louis has plans for a High Line-esque park, and possibly Philadelphia and Chicago too). However, some think that the High Line is more of a “flash in the pan” trend that will prove to be a failure given the time. Here’s an article discussing why the High Line, after 2 years of being open to the public, still works. As well as how it’s remained crime-free.
