  • The 606 is a linear park on the site of the former Bloomingdale Line, a 2.7-mile east-west railroad on the northwest side of Chicago. The 2004 Logan Square Open Space Plan called for the transformation of the elevated railroad into a greenway, that would connect the Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Bucktown and Wicker Park neighborhoods. Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates worked with the City of Chicago and the surrounding communities to design the neighborhood amenity. Features along the 606 include access parks, perimeter plantings, seating and viewing opportunities, to provide space for programs and events that require more than what is available on the elevated portion.

  • The Mosholu Golf Course, designed by Grimshaw Architects and Ken Smith Landscape Architects, is situated atop the Croton Water Treatment Plant in the Bronx, NY. Croton is the largest infrastructure project for the City of New York, processing a third of NYC's drinking water. The building is nine acres wide, and sinks 12 stories into the earth. The golf course, which is the largest continuous living roof in North America, is the only visible part of the plant. Croton is surrounded by a wetland stormwater and groundwater management system designed by Great Ecology as part of the Grimshaw Architects team.
