World’s first underground park – ‘The Lowline’

Under the streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, will be built the world’s first underground park ‘The Lowline’. The park will be built in the Williamsburg Bridge Trolley Terminal. The vegetation underground will be grown using ‘remote skylight’ concept which has parabolic sunlight collector that directs the light at one focal point (distributor dish) on the ground which will spread the light in space. During period of sunlight, no electricity would be required to light up the space. This is an effective usage of unused urban space which will also better the tourism of the city.
