<p>As the <a href="http://curbed.com/archives/2009/05/28/new_hudson_yards_sneak_preview_comes_10_years_early.php">construction process for Hudson Yards</a> drags on in New York, we&#8217;re glad to see green urban design is alive and well in Chicago. The windy city is <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2006/08/01/chicago-green-roof-program/">no stranger to sustainable building</a>, and this urban park, located on the fringe of the city&#8217;s downtown, will certainly give Chicago <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2007/12/22/chicagos-next-lead-the-green-alley-project/">even more green cred</a>. <a href="http://www.perkinswill.com/">Perkins + Will</a>, the architects behind the design, developed the park to create more open space for the city, but the greenway also proves to be a pedestrian-friendly gateway that connects the existing downtown to any future development across the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Expressway">Kennedy Expressway</a>.</p>
