American cities are transforming abandoned industrial land into vibrant greenways, offering recreational spaces and boosting local economies.
These greenways, like Detroit's Joe Louis Greenway and New York's High Line, connect neighborhoods, improving commutes and community health.
While successful, some argue that more amenities, such as restrooms and shaded areas, are needed to enhance user experience.
The future of greenways involves creative partnerships and addressing challenges like climate change to ensure long-term sustainability.
