New York University won an appeals court ruling allowing a planned $6 billion expansion in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village to move forward, overcoming a challenge by a group seeking to save rare urban parkland.

The city’s approval of the plan was appropriate because the disputed land isn’t park property, a state appeals court ruled today in Manhattan. If the land were a park, the development would have required approval from the state.
