Industrial land use seems far removed from nature, but has plenty of informal greenspace! Photo out of a Keiyo-line train from Soga to Tokyo.
工業土地は自然から程遠く見えるが、非公式緑地がたくさんあります。蘇我駅から東京行きの京葉線の電車から海側に撮影。
塀と古い機械が生い茂る草に覆われている。次は工場かな？
Fence and abandoned machine have been swallowed by plants. Will the old factory building be next?
こんな広い所できっとすばらしい探検ができる！
This wide space is just waiting to be explored!
Brownfields (such as abandoned factory grounds or municipal storage facilities) and their low maintenance levels are often large informal greenspaces. This site stores concrete pylons and sand bags for flood protection, but is also largely covered with grasses.
Peek through a hole - you might find a hidden treasure! This fascinating brownfield in the Brisbane CBD is hidden from public view by boring advertisement walls. Fortunately a small hole used for the key chain turns it into a surprise for the curious.
supersonicelectronic:SUPERSONIC REVIEWS: HIGH LINE-High Line: The Inside Story of New York City’s Park in the Sky offers a intriguing look into the development and design of the iconic, beautiful park by the project’s co-founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond. The book, perfectly designed by Pentagram, holds the story of how the High Line came to be, from the original elevated railway on Manhattan’s west side until it’s reclamation and urban renewal as an elevated park. With over 250 pages of photographs, High Line, is certainly attention worthy. But, perhaps, the book’s most wonderful attribute is the artistic and design sensitive ideals that David and Hammond held so dearly in the production of the park.
Absolutely my favorite place. Looks like I’ll have to get this book!
