Greenbelt Plan

The Greenbelt Plan is a land-use policy designed to protect environmentally sensitive areas such as farmland, forests, wetlands, and natural corridors from urban development. Its purpose is to preserve natural ecosystems, support agricultural activities, and maintain outdoor recreational spaces, while directing growth to designated urban areas. By creating a protected greenbelt around urban centers, the plan helps prevent urban sprawl, promotes sustainable development, and ensures the long-term health of the environment and community quality of life.
