Sky Parks

James Corner is an architect credited with 'revitalising' part of New York (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/21/manhattan-makeover-for-london-with-floating-green-walkway-plan). Corner converted a disused, elevated railway into the 'High Line'. The 'High Line' is 'a ribbon of parkland floating over Manhattan'. This walking area has become a much-visited and appreciated feature for both New Yorkers and tourists. Corner has now been appointed as lead architect for doing something similar for London. The aim is to create a linear park on the 1.2 km of railway viaduct, running from Camden to Kings Cross station. This sounds like a good idea as it will turn a redundant structure into something useable by the general public. This modest development is obviously considerably cheaper than the abandoned 'Garden bridge' across the Thames. It is also much more likely to be used, than the Emirates Air Line cable car (perhaps it won't even need sponsorship?).
