In 2015, the geographer Oliver O'Brien proposed an elevated public space and greenway which will run from the London neighbourhood of Camden Town to King's Cross, transforming a 1.21 km disused section of the North London Line. This “park in the sky” will be known as The Camden High Line. A design team led by James Corner Field Operations (New York City High Line) with architects vPPR and community group Street Space will primarily drive the work. In January 2023 it was given planning approval for the first section between Camden Gardens and Royal College Street with construction due to begin in 2025. In tandem with the physical realisation of this ambitious vision, the Highline reaches deep into the community, creating educational projects, multimedia events, heritage-based research and urban cartography. Since 2023 the Camden Highline have been working with photographer Paul Romans to create an ongoing body of images. The function of this work has not only been to speculatively document the Highline throughout its gestation and construction, but also to engage with its multiplicity of associated initiatives. By collapsing the oppositions between old/new, industrial/natural and urban/bucolic, the Highline seeks to affirm the role of public spaces in creating connected, healthy neighbourhoods and cities. By means of poetic transformation and assemblage thinking, the work eschews reductionism, thereby opening into fluid spaces of connection and narrative opportunity.
