- Abstract in English : Greenway is a generic term that has been applied to a wide range of landscape planning strategies, concepts, and plans. While there is some consensus on the benefits of protecting networks of land, there is little agreement on terminology. As a result, communication and knowledge exchange are limited. This paper offers an inclusive definition of greenways, discusses greenway characteristics, benefits and liabilities, and presents a typology for greenway classification based on scale, goals, landscape contexts, and planning strategy.
