Can a mighty green roof be your city's silver bullet solution?

The Highline, everyone's favorite green infrastructure project, has done big things for New York City. Nearly every week I read an article analyzing how transformational it really is and the many ways to view its success.  This particular author proclaims that it's a poster child for adaptive reuse, and gives us a few other iconic projects.
Rod Stevens wrote a piece last year about "silver bullet solutions" for municipal redevelopment and revitalization; it was one of my favorite articles of the year and features my favorite graphic as well. We need an updated graphic and "Building a Highline" added to the #32 slot. Well, maybe #35 (downtown pedestrian malls and downtown areas were added by some readers after the original article). In colorful detail the graphic boils down all the things cities have tried. I always forget to share this, enjoy!
