- Contents in English : Greenways have long played a significant role in the development of urban and sub-urban areas. They help mitigate the loss of “natural” space, often have scenic qualities, provide for recreation, education, a sense of wellbeing, and preservation of the natural habitat. The objective of this paper is first to illustrate the concept of urban greenway systems in structuring communities, and second to suggest a methodological blueprint, a model for integrating and proper application of the concept of linked parks and urban greenway systems in planning residential communities.
