	Green belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A green belt or greenbelt is an area of largely undeveloped wild or agricultural land surrounding or neighbouring an urban area.
		The more general term in the U.S. is green space or greenspace, which may be a very small area such as a park.
		The protection of green belts was pioneered in the United Kingdom, where there are fourteen green belt areas, covering 16,716 km², or 13% of England; for a detailed discussion of these, see Green Belt (UK).
