Abstract :

         The term of greenway is used for the paths that maintain the environmental integrity of an urban infrastructure; on the other meaning greenways represent a new linear and inter-connected form of urban park or they are urban  green infrastructure , According to this fact that urbanization and increasing population like other countries have made challenges between urban development and environment, social benefits and individual benefits, spatial necessity and mental-cultural value, Therefore, greenway projects implementation mitigate these challenges and on the other hand they promote sense of well-being, conservation of habitats, ecological, scenic, recreational and educational quality. This study is in two sections, the first part, by document research method (using thesis, books and related websites) traces first the origin of greenway planning back to early landscape architecture during the second half of the 19th century. Then it highlights the evolution of greenway and universal activity in the field of planning and design over the 20th century. The second part of this paper with use of context analyzing (published guidance for greenway planning and design in Europe and US and urban spaces design guidance and urban ways design criteria in Iran) declares primary steps for creation of greenway network in Iran.
