Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition: A Green Infrastructure Guide for Small Cities, Towns and Rural Communities

Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation (2017) A Green Infrastructure Guide for Small Cities, Towns and Rural Communities. Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition

The purpose of this Guide is to support small cities, towns and rural settlements with the integration of green infrastructure into their communities. Much of the current green infrastructure research and guidance focuses on densely populated urban centres. Smaller and rural settlements are often overlooked despite the many benefits that green infrastructure can provide in these settings. This Guide aims to fill that gap by providing an overview of the types of green infrastructure that make the most sense for these communities and by outlining a strategic zoning approach for implementation.
