The Sundance Channel currently has a neat series of 2-minute perspectives on the High Line, the city's elevated-railway-turned-cool-linear-park. The one just below is narrated by Adrian Benape, the city's parks commissioner. I particularly like what he has to say about the interaction between parks and development and parks and neighborhoods:

There are nine of them on the menu, and you can watch one, some, or all on Sundance's website. Adam Gopnik and Diane Von Furstenberg are among the other narrators.

Many thanks to Ben at TPL's City Parks Blog for the inspiration. Here is Ben's post.
