I almost forgot, the Promenade Plantee in Paris, which is similar to the High Line in that fact that is was an abandoned Rail track, but differing in the fact that is was completed in the 1990s.

and the Wychwood Barns, a series of former streetcar repair barns, which now house artist residences, a huge greenhouse, non-for profit office space and a successful farmers market:

both projects were being undertaken in partnership between a private organization and the city of Toronto.
