Since the early 1970s, there has been a growing understanding that the form and function typical to many urban areas is unsustainable. Significant problems are evident in many urban areas today, such as air, water, and noise pollution, lack of green/open spaces, and inefficient transport systems. Given urban areas are home to around half the world's population, it is vital that efforts are made...

A greenway is a low-speed road system built on high-level afforestation, and this system serves as a venue for sightseeing, relaxation, and exercise. In China, greenway planning and construction have been actively and successfully implemented to strengthen the construction of urban human settlements. However, a specific method has yet to be used to assess the service capability of urban greenwa...

In the developing process of urbanization in China, PM2.5 pollution has become a problem that must be faced. Greenway, especially those in the community, is the important green infrastructure to improve ecological environment in urban areas, which plays a crucial role in PM2.5 reduction. With basic cognitive analysis on definitions and characteristics of community greenway and PM2.5, this paper...

linear green infrastructures along rivers and canals serve different functions: green corridors, or ecological network, maintain biological diversity, improve water quality, and provide areas for fauna and flora to grow and thrive. greenways connect people with landscape resources and serve as recreational areasthat are easy to use and accessible to the greatest number of potential human users....

Given the benefits of urban greenways on the health and well-being of urban populations, the increased use of urban greenways has garnered increasing attention. Studies on urban greenways, however, have been mostly conducted in Western countries, whereas there is limited knowledge on greenway use in urban areas in developing countries. To address this shortcoming, the present study selected Wut...

The ubiquitous sameness of urban greenways prompts questions on generative design grammar and syntax, whether creative, critical rethinking at that level might be lacking. However the design syntax of urban greenways is not explicitly discussed thus leaving a critical gap in knowledge. This paper begins tackling the larger question by acting on the fundamental subset of it, by operationalizing ...

NOVOTNY, KRISTEN ELISE. Mammalian Nest Predators Respond to Greenway Width, Habitat Structure, and Landscape Context. (Under the direction of George R. Hess.) Birds of conservation concern breed in suburban greenways, yet abundant populations of mammals that depredate bird nests may compromise nest success. We evaluated how three factors influenced total mammalian nest predator abundance and in...

introduction using greenways could be one of the ways which fulfill the improvement of urban streets. greenways, as they are known, improve the pedestrianism and related qualities like climatic comfort, visual complexity and desirable serial visions. the objective of this research is to evaluate the capacity of mâdies[1] network in isfahan to function as greenway. this research aims to assess i...

today, urban environment experts are endeavoring after new ways to increase the amount of urban green spaces and discover the best way to enter them as lively part of cities. greenways can supply the needs of urbanization to green spaces in addition they are effective in urban green transportation. this study is trying to offer an approach in process of urban greenways planning by ahp analytica...
