Es ist ein bekanntes Problem aller Großstädte weltweit. So tummeln sich dort in Ballungsräumen eine große Anzahl von Menschen, sodass die meisten auf engen Raum leben müssen. Am problematischsten ist dann neben dem Wohnraum die Schaffung von Freizeit- oder Grünflächen. So stehen überall schon Häuser und es ist kein Platz um neue Parks zu errichten. Alte Parks reichen auf keinen Fall aus um die ganzen Interessen zu stillen und wenn man Pech hat wird ein Teil vom Park auch noch abgeschafft um Platz für neue Wohnblöcke zu schaffen.
In New York gibt es nun eine sehr interessante und vor allem kreative Idee dazu. So wurde nun der zweite Teil des Highline-Parks eröffnet. Dabei handelt es sich um eine alte Trasse die damals zum Transport in die alten Schlächtereien benutzt wurde. Diese wurde nun so behandelt und umgebaut, dass dadurch eine Parkanlage entstand. So zieht sich mitten durch New York ein grüner Streifen und verschönert und “vergrünt” das Stadtbild. Dort kann man sich entspannen und relaxen. Es ist wie im Park, halt nur hoch hinaus und trotzdem mitten in der City. Durch angepflanzte Sträucher und Bäume schafft man es auch dem Straßenlärm zu entgehen.
Dieser Highline Park dürfte auch für Voyeure genau das richtige sein. So wurde neue zweite Abschnitt noch dichter an die bestehenden Bauten heran gebaut. Somit kann man direkt ins Fenster von Anwohnern schauen und weiß was der Hausherr gerade zum Mittag hatte und ob die Hausherrin auch den Müll ordentlich trennt.
Dieses Projekt ist so interessant, sodass viele andere amerikanische Städte mit dem Gedanken spielen dieser Idee nachzueifern und diesen grünen Streifen auch in ihre Stadt zu bringen.
