New York City is set to build the world’s first underground public park in Lower Manhattan, named “The Lowline.” Built in a former trolley terminal, the park will use solar technology to funnel natural light underground to grow plants.
The project aims to address the city’s shortage of green spaces and is being celebrated as a marvel of sustainable design. The developers hope to inspire megacities worldwide to rethink urban space utilization.
With increasing urban congestion in South Asian cities like Delhi and Dhaka, such ideas could inspire underground recreational or community spaces.
