High Line

High Line is on a high in New York City! It’s a story of community activism on a scale that overwhelmed City Hall and became a public institution. ‘It has since become a global inspiration for cities to transform unused industrial zones into dynamic public spaces’  


In October 2013 ICLEI Oceania invited one of the High Line founders, Robert Hammond to speak at the Thriving Neighbourhoods Conference.

The City of Melbourne adopted Robert as their own and thus began the Green Line story that ended with the election of the current Council despite promises to transform the north bank of the Yarra.
