	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 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, and 164 km² in Scotland; for a detailed discussion of these, see Green Belt (UK).
		Another notable example is the Ottawa Greenbelt in Canada.

		Ottawa is situated on a bluff above the Ottawa River, and both the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal flow through the city.
		Ottawa covers a land area of 110 sq km (43 sq mi) and is surrounded by a 17,000-hectare (42,000-acre) protected greenbelt to the south and west.
		Ottawa is well connected by road and rail to the major transportation routes that span central and eastern Canada, and further improvements to the highway system are being constructed.

	Greenbelt (Ottawa) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Greenbelt is a crescent of land, formerly surrounding the city of Ottawa, in which real estate development generally is not permitted, although the Federal Government has developed limited parts of it.
		The Greenbelt is maintained by the National Capital Commission (NCC), a Crown corporation of the Government of Canada.
		The present City of Ottawa comprises an extensive urban area surrounded by an even more extensive rural zone, a situation brought about by the January 1, 2001 amalgamation of Ottawa with several surrounding municipalities, both urban and rural.

		The Greenbelt, as seen in Figure 1, is a crescent-shaped patchwork of farms, fields, forests, and research complexes bordering the City of Ottawa and parts of Nepean and Gloucester.
		In developing the Greenbelt Master Plan it was determined that the Greenbelt must have certain attributes if it was to meet the obligations implicit in the Master Plan and ensure the Greenbelt's continued usefulness and health.
		Greenbelt land uses and activities are organized spatially in the Greenbelt according to seven land designations, and these relate to either natural, rural, or built systems within the Greenbelt.

		The Greenbelt is a ring of land, formerly surrounding the city of (The capital of Canada (located in southeastern Ontario across the Ottawa river from Quebec)) Ottawa, in which real estate development is not permitted.
		Due to the January 1, 2001 amalgamation of Ottawa with several surrounding cities, the Greenbelt no longer surrounds Ottawa, but rather it forms an arc through the inside of the city.
		In addition, parts of the former suburban cities of Nepean and Gloucester were inside the Greenbelt as they straddled the boundary.

		Up to 1950, Ottawa grew by simply annexing its suburbs, but by the 1960s the annexation process was dropped in favour of developing a form of regional government for the area.

		The Greenbelt, which Gréber called "the Capital's emerald necklace", forms a semi-circular belt of about 17,600 hectares running in a continuous 44.8 kilometres arc on the outer edge of the urban area.
		Presently, some of the land is leased, some is in public use, some is used for research and development activities, and large tracts have been set aside for the conservation of the water table and the preservation of animal and plant life.

	INTRODUCTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The greenbelt would also act as a growth boundary for the garden city, which would thus eliminate the risk of urban sprawl.
		One of the primary goals of the Plan was to deal with the problem of urban sprawl in the Ottawa area, and it is in Greber’s proposed means of addressing this problem that the influence of Howard’s Garden City concept is especially evident.
		It was evident in writing the plan that the land within the confines of the greenbelt would not prove sufficient for urban development demands beyond 1984, rather than the year 2000 as Greber expected.

	Section 2 -Regional Development Strategy
		The Greenbelt’s predominantly rural character creates a separation between the urban area inside the inner limit of the Greenbelt and the distinct communities which have established just beyond the Greenbelt.
		Targets for occupied dwelling unit and population allocations in urban areas inside and outside the Greenbelt and in the rural area, are shown in Table 2.
		The share of residential development inside the Greenbelt is expected to increase over the planning period as the population ages and the demand for multiple-unit housing closer to services and amenities grows.

		As a tradeoff, the NCC proposes to sell 650 hectares of Greenbelt land which they say is less valuable ecologically, being either scrub land or small parcels, cut off from the rest of the Greenbelt by roadways.
		One has to wonder whether Ottawa residents will accept the NCC's sale of Greenbelt land as part of a tradeoff, only to find that the anticipated land purchases never occur.
		The Greenbelt will then have been decreased by 650 hectares without much of a protest from those of us who want to preserve Ottawa's greenspace.

		On the surface, the recent increase in collisions between deer and motorists in the Ottawa region is a simple problem.
		An increase in the deer population within the Greenbelt, combined with an overlap of high traffic volume during the late winter twilight hours when deer are most active, means the odds of hitting wildlife are higher than we'd like.
		The safety risks to families living near the Greenbelt must be addressed, and the prohibition against hunting with firearms will have to be temporarily suspended for the duration of a hunt.
