DECONSTRUCTING THE HIGH LINE: POSTINDUSTRIAL URBANISM AND THE RISE OF THE ELEVATED PARK

Book ID/图书代码： 11729017C00010

English Summary/英文概要： The High Line, an innovative promenade created on a disused elevated railway in Manhattan, is one of the world’s most iconic new urban landmarks. Since the opening of its first section in 2009, this unique greenway has exceeded all expectations in terms of attracting visitors, investment, and property development to Manhattan’s West Side. Frequently celebrated as a monument to community-led activism, adaptive re-use of urban infrastructure, and innovative ecological design, the High Line is being used as a model for numerous urban redevelopment plans proliferating worldwide. Deconstructing the High Line is the first book to analyze the High Line from multiple perspectives, critically assessing its aesthetic, economic, ecological, symbolic, and social impacts. Including several essays by planners and architects directly involved in the High Line’s design, this volume also brings together a diverse range of scholars from the fields of urban studies, geography, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. Together, they offer insights into the project’s remarkable success, while also giving serious consideration to the critical charge that the High Line is "Disney World on the Hudson," a project that has merely greened, sanitized, and gentrified an urban neighborhood while displacing longstanding residents and businesses. Deconstructing the High Line is not just for New Yorkers, but for anyone interested in larger issues of public space, neoliberal redevelopment, creative design practice, and urban renewal.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 高线公园是曼哈顿建造在一段已经废弃的高架铁路上的创意公园，也是世界上最为吸引眼球的新城市地标之一。自从它在2009年建成开始，这一独特的绿地在吸引游客的数量、投资、以及地产开发的不同层面都已经超越了此前对它的各种期待。经常有人将它视为社区导向激进主义的象征，又或者是将之视为再利用城市基建或者其适应性改建、创意生态设计等等的象征，高线公园成为世界各地很多城市重新开发时参考的模型样板。而这本书是第一本从不同角度来分析高线公园的书，包括从美学、经济、生态、象征以及社会影响等方面。书中包括了一些直接参与了高线公园设计的策划者和建筑师的文字，本书还聚集了来自不同学科的读者，包括城市研究、地理、人口、社会学以及文化研究等等。他们一同为这个项目无与伦比的成功提供了自己的想法，同时也严肃地从批判的角度思考了高线公园是否真的就是“哈德逊河边的迪斯尼世界”这种说法，因为这个项目对让整个街区变得更绿、更卫生其实并没有太大的价值。解构高线公园不仅仅是为了纽约的市民，也为了所有那些对于在公共区域里大兴土木重新开发以及建造创始设计的人士。(LYR)
