Greener Cities FTW!

I'll save you the long-form text, but if you're interested in reading more, here's some cool short articles about great ideas for greening-up our cities.

Just like the High Line in Brooklyn is a great park made from a dis-used railway, they've got a similar idea for Toronto, here: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/toronto-architect-proposes-greenwrapping-highway.php?dcitc=th_rss

















An article about how Removing Highways in four cases has resulted in great spaces AND better traffic-flow: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/remove-highways-to-fix-traffic.php

And finally a proposal about putting a park in the land where the Berlin Wall used to be: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/green-vision-for-place-with-grim-past.php?dcitc=th_rss

I know we already have Deck Park, but these ideas look sweet.
