City Meets Nature: Abandoned Transport Routes Turned Into Parks

The Goods Line, Sydney, Australia

In August 2015, a disused rail corridor between Sydney’s central station and Darling harbour opened up as a green space. The 500m pedestrian and cycle path connects some of Sydney’s best known cultural and educational institutions. The award-winning AUS$15m redesign preserves elements such as the track, signal box equipment and Australia’s oldest iron bridge.
