RECLAIMING SPACES

Dan Barasch and James Ramsey have a crazy plan...






They are creating a park, filled with greenery, underneath New York City. The two are developing the Lowline, an underground green space the size of a football field.   

They're building it in a trolley terminal abandoned in 1948, using technology that harvests sunlight above-ground and directs it down below. It's a park that can thrive, even in winter.
