The concept is great! But, reality interferes with a couple of the ideas. The bird feeder and refuge is interesting, but how are you going to to put seed in the feeders? The raised lawn is a poor use of space. It may reduce your water bill, but the maintenance costs will increase for fertilizer and weedkiller chemicals for grass, not to mention getting a lawn mower on that small elevated plot - not sustainable. There is a great deal of concrete. Is it pervious?

Was just on the new portion of the high line in August. It is spectacular, and in the summer, the air is so fresh up above the street traffic. The photo of the bird area is not for birds, those houses are for butterflies, and the small "feeders" are for rainwater to collect. The vegetation provides seeds and source of food for birds. Some of the benches are in comfortable, but others are quite restful. Since these were always elevated tracks, there various stairways to get down to the streets below, one of which has a dozen or so small art galleries and other shops and restaurants. The view of these neighborhoods is great!
