Green Economy
The green economy is defined as an economy that aims at reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, and that aims for sustainable development without degrading the environment. A Greenway is a recreational or pedestrian and cycling corridor for non-motorised journeys, developed in an integrated manner which enhances both the environ- ment and quality of life of the surrounding area. May be defined as open lands on the periphery of cities or larger towns whose development will require the provision of new infrastructure, roads, sewers and ancillary social and commercial facilities, schools, shops, employment and commu- nity facilities.
