Healthy, Connected, Resilient Cities - A GIS Approach
Track: Environmental Management
Authors: Breece Robertson, Holly Elwell

Greener, more livable cities bring economic development, new residents and businesses, recreation opportunities for a healthy and active population, a healthier living environment, and myriad other benefits. The Trust for Public Land is working with cities across the country to
develop detailed GIS and planning strategies to demonstrate how strategic green space planning contributes to a resilient city and provides many critical benefits beyond recreation opportunities.
