| Summary: | High Line parks are an innovative landscape model that combines the adaptive reuse of abandoned infrastructure with ecological and environmental enhancement. This study explores the origins and development of High Line parks, focusing on the three phases of the High Line Park in New York, which has influenced similar projects worldwide. The research examines the defining characteristics of High Line parks and uses bibliometric analysis to identify trends in their development, including key themes, research subjects, and hotspots. It highlights the interdisciplinary contributions from landscape planning, design, management, and economics, emphasizing their role in shaping the High Line model. Additionally, the study proposes a framework for classifying design models based on the retention of original infrastructure, identifying four distinct design approaches. These findings offer valuable insights into the transformative potential of High Line parks for urban spaces. Future research should focus on three key directions: examining the role of community participation in mitigating green gentrification; modeling visitor perception and behavior using multimodal data; and assessing thermal comfort and health risks under compound environmental stressors, to support the inclusive and adaptive development of High Line parks in diverse urban contexts. |
