Connection to Nature

GreenCity will be grounded in the site, respectful of its natural context and provide a connection to nature for residents and guests.

The GreenCity Park system will support biodiversity at all scales through:

• Protected wetlands and streams that provide enhanced habitat corridors 

• Connected park system with curated nature walks and opportunities for fresh air recreation

• Streets built with a priority for human-powered movement, stormwater management, and continuous tree canopies to reduce urban heat-island effect

• A blurring of the natural and built environment through an  emphasis on biophilic design with green roofs, plazas and supporting infrastructure

• Opportunities for residents to “get their hands dirty” and grow some of their own food, affordability, with areas designated for urban agriculture

This emphasis on a connection to nature will further enhance residents’ physical and mental well-being
