Discusses the Regional Plan Associations Metropolitan Greensward initiative. [UMN]
"Regional Plan Associations Metropolitan Greensward initiative addresses the linked issues of suburban sprawl and urban disinvestment by creating greenbelts, restoring urban natural resources, and establishing greenways. Conservation of this complex of large forest patches, restored urban forests, and linked natural corridors provides a spatial framework for maintaining ecosystem functions in a metropolitan setting."
