“New York City just approved the Lowline, a dreamy, eco-friendly project.”
The world’s first underground park and public cultural space will soon be on the “must-see” list of many visitors world-wide. The team who dreamed up this underground oasis will soon use “cutting edge solar technology to transform the abandoned Williamsburg Bridge Trolley Terminal located under Delancey Street into a one-acre underground public park. Here, sunlight is delivered underground, activating photosynthesis to create a lush garden space year-round.”
In an area where a much needed public space is highly desired, the Lowline team is hoping to be a model of success for reusing and cultivating underground spaces. There vision is “to shape the future of the City through innovation, deep community engagement, education, and youth development.”
“New York City is the place where visionary ideas get turned into tangible realities,” said NYCEDC President Maria Torres-Springer. “Today we move one step closer to making the Lowline a reality, which will serve as a cultural and educational hub for this vibrant community and pioneer cutting-edge technology.”
