Abstract
The concept of "greenways" emerged to achieve sustainable development in urban areas and to address natural disasters resulting from climate change. This research paper aims to study the role of greenways in achieving urban sustainability and their facilitation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. The paper expounds on the idea and origin of greenways, their benefits, and analyzes some global examples. Furthermore, it categorizes the indicators of greenway design into two types: those with a positive impact and those without an impact on sustainable development goals. Using standardized tools, the relationship between each indicator and sustainable development goals was analyzed.
The study concludes that greenways play an effective role in achieving several Sustainable Development Goals, significantly impacting some of them. This includes making cities inclusive, safe, and sustainable, ensuring a healthy and prosperous lifestyle for all, promoting peace, justice, and building robust institutions, as well as combating climate change and its effects. Additionally, a mechanism to enhance the role of greenways in the least impacted Sustainable Development Goals was proposed. This research underscores the importance of designing greenways to achieve sustainable development in cities.
