Abstract
Utilizing three projects characterized for their linear form and unique existing conditions, the lecture will
describe the design process of public spaces of large scale that seek to activate existing underutilized sectors of
the City and in doing so, place the investment in public spaces in the forefront of overall economic development
for large city sectors. Projects to be discussed include the Underline a 10-mile long linear park situated on the currently vacant land
under an elevated Metrorail, the High Line, a 1.5-mile long linear promenade in New York City built over an
abandoned elevated train trestle and the renovation of Lincoln Road, one of the first pedestrian malls built in the
USA in the 1960’s.
