Urban Green Corridor
Urban Green Corridor is a planned stretch of plants, trees, and open spaces that connects different parks or natural areas in a city, helping animals and insects move safely between them. In city ecology, these corridors help lower city temperatures, reduce air pollution, and support the health of people and wildlife. Designers use native plants in these corridors because they need less water and help local animals. Urban Green Corridors can be built along rivers, railways, or streets, and they can include walking and cycling paths for people. These corridors help rainwater soak into the ground, which reduces flooding during storms. Designers sometimes use green roofs and walls as part of these corridors to connect spaces even on buildings.
