Greenbelts

Greenbelts are designated areas of open space or vegetation that are kept free from urban development to protect the environment, promote biodiversity, and provide recreational spaces for communities. They typically surround cities or urban areas, helping to limit urban sprawl, preserve natural habitats, and enhance air quality. Greenbelts facilitate sustainable growth by encouraging cities to develop more densely rather than expanding outward, which helps preserve agricultural land and natural landscapes. By maintaining these green spaces, communities can enjoy healthier environments and improved quality of life.
