A chain of parks linked by parkways and waterways in and around a city.
Just like an emerald necklace adds beauty to an outfit, this chain of parks adds beauty to a city. It's not just one piece (or park), but several strung together for maximum impact.
Urban Park: A green space area with recreational features located within a town or city.
Greenway: A strip of undeveloped land near an urban area set aside for recreational use or environmental protection.
Landscape Architecture: The design profession which applies artistic and scientific principles to the research, planning, design and management of both natural and built environments.
