Planning Healthier Neighbourhoods, Where Cars Sit Idle and People Get Moving

From as early as 1903, renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted stated that no single park, no matter how large and how well designed, would provide the citizens with the beneficial influences of nature. Instead, parks need to be linked to one another and to surrounding residential neighborhoods." Today, the idea of linking parks for the benefit of people has evolved into the modern greenways movement. Municipalities from across the country, including North Vancouver and Whistler, have recognized the many values and incorporated the concept of greenways into community planning.

Greenways are an interconnected network of protected land that supports natural ecological processes, sustains air and water resources and contributes to a healthier quality of life. While greenways may differ in their location or function, overall, they can benefit the public and the environment by enhancing the natural beauty in neighborhoods and communities, increasing recreational and transportation opportunities, and improving health and fitness.
