The Network originated following the success of the High Line in New York City, in an effort to highlight the growing sector of projects that transform underutilized and abandoned infrastructure into new urban landscapes that value public spaces. Now, these projects expand opportunities for knowledge and resource sharing among Network members, bringing in new voices and representation to the fold.
“We’re excited to become part of a Network that uplifts needed change in how we think about designing a functional world for future generations. Today, we join a cohort across North America that amplifies our work at Willamette Falls through connecting the health of community, land, and access. We look forward to advancing Indigenous knowledge and land justice with our peers across the nation.”
