[The High Line] Summary and Recommendations

As a redefinition of a public space, the High Line is a successful project for urban revitalization through design and community engagement, with definitive means for sustainability. It demonstrates how abandoned infrastructures can be reused and regenerated in ways beneficial to the economy and environment, and even more importantly, the community.

[The High Line] Building Social Capacity for Sustainability

                The High Line is most commonly known for its success as either an urban renewal project or a development for a public open space, but it is much more than that.  As an education, health and culture targeted development, the project answers to these goals by providing for the whole community, encouraging public engagement and stewardship of the High Line.

[The High Line] Community Context, Social Justice and Leveraging Resources

The High Line is the result of collaborative partnerships between organizations and institutions, mostly coming from the local community, that have worked together to create a project beneficial to all those involved. Throughout the project, not only have these groups strived together to earn grants and funding, but have also negotiated through a number of policies and authorizations to advance the construction of the High Line.

[The High Line] Directly Meeting Needs

The High Line project is a result of the very Sustainability Skill of Social Engagement. Bringing together different insights, perspectives and knowledge, the project has brought into consideration the concerns of various disciplines and professions that are involved with the project. The case aims to meet the needs of all those concerned with the implementation, the construction and the final use.

Awesome New York Eats

To Amazing-Girl-#1-Zoe! 

It's been almost two months since I've come back to Florida from New York and I CAN'T STOP thinking about the absolutely delicious food I've had while I was there!! Thinking about New York food really makes mouth water! When I thought that it is impossible that food anywhere else in the world that can taste better than our Taiwan小吃! I Heart New York! I'm really grateful for all the awesome people I got to meet up and hang out with in New York and to enjoy good food together! (Peggy, that's you especially! lol)

So along with this unbelievably extensive list of the eats (I just LOVE looking back at all these pictures), is part of my recap on the Awesome vacation for winter break!

hahaha and sooo this is the very list dedicated to you, not of all my "must-eats" but of all my "have-eats" but most of which you should definitely still check out!! I know you ONLY have like ... two days in New York? lol, but go ahead and check out how you are going to plan to eat your way through the city anyways! (*hint hint: top recommends highlighted!) 

[The High Line] Sustainability Literacy Skills

            Awarded 2010 Professional Awards by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) as well as Design Award for Urban Design by the American Institute for Architects (AIA), the High Line demonstrates its enormous success and acknowledgement in the design disciplines. Not only because it has displayed its design skills but also its sustainability literacy skills, shown through its awareness for the built environment, its precedent history and its community, which are all conducive to the High Line’s vision for sustainability.

            The High line has promoted success in urban regeneration and adaptive use using skills for Appropriate Technology and Appropriate Design, including Permaculture Design, and largely incorporating means of Ecological Intelligence.
