Green Belt Policy

The Green Belt Policy is a planning strategy used in urban areas to control urban sprawl and protect open land. It establishes designated zones around cities where development is restricted, preserving green spaces, farmland, and natural habitats. The aim is to maintain a clear boundary between urban areas and the countryside, promoting sustainable land use, enhancing quality of life, and ensuring access to nature. By limiting construction in these zones, the policy helps prevent overcrowding and protects ecosystems while encouraging urban regeneration and more efficient use of existing infrastructure within cities.
