A good example. Did the property values go up to $2m for a 1-bedroom apartment?

The result is wonderful and has encouraged new development to the old downtown.

I’ve never been to the one in Paris, but it’s good to hear that the idea is spreading! Thanks for commenting!

It’s a great place with kids because they can run free without fear of the traffic below. We also like the Promenade Plantee which it was based on in Paris. I read recently that my parent’s hometown of Philadelphia has plans to turn some of Fairmount Park into a High Line sort of thing. The revolution may be coming!
