Former industrial and warehousing areas of New York Manhattan change their visage transforming into attractive public spaces. The Hudson River Park situated in western Manhattan was established on the former port area while the latest High Line Park was developed through revitalisation of the unused elevated railway line servicing warehouses, storage yards and factories. Local people with passion, able to notice the unusual potential of that unique place were the initiators of the idea to recover the former railway line. The established nonprofit organisation Friends of the High Line won wide public support building the strategy for protection of the railway line. The two initial sections of the park completed during the years 2009 and 2011 possessing the total length of ca. 2.5 km presented a very high level of individual design solutions as concerns both the elements of small architecture and greenery selected in the interesting way. That synergiccombination of anthropogenous elements with the world of the nature influences attractiveness of the High Line. The place is visited readily by both the New Yorkers and numerous tourists.
