 abstract={Contemporary cities face many challenges, including climate change, which adversely affects the environment and biodiversity. Efforts are made to maintain existing and design new green areas, which, in addition to ecological benefits, also have a positive impact on the health and well-being of residents. Elements of nature are introduced in cities in various ways, as well as in new, not entirely obvious locations, e.g., as accompanying facilities related to transport. The study of three cases of green area solutions accompanying transport infrastructure facilities in the context of enhancing urban biodiversity and fulfilling social functions is the main sub of this work. The functional and spatial layouts of the areas and their position in relation to the ground level will also be analysed. An additional aim is to present current emerging trends in urban green areas design, characterized by the reuse of abandoned and undeveloped areas, the combination of functions and the integration with architecture and infrastructure facilities. The method of analysing source materials on the discussed examples was used and the site visits were carried out in 2013 (High Line), 2022 (Salesforce Transit Center Park) and 2023 (Platform Park). The analysis has shown that, regardless of the location of the transport infrastructure in relation to the level of the ground, the time of its construction and the way in which it is connected to the surroundings, there are great opportunities to introduce green spaces as an accompanying transport infrastructure which can affect biodiversity and the implementation of social functions in cities.},
