**4. Urban Greenway Typology**

The assessment of literature described above was complemented with the authors' observation of practice to develop a typology of urban greenways. Table 6 includes descriptions, goals, and examples of five types of urban greenway. Table 7 includes photographs exemplifying each greenway type. We offer two photos for each type to illustrate that urban greenways exist along a naturalistic to constructed continuum. For example, rail-to-trails such as the Promenade Plantée (aka Coulée Verte) in Paris include sections both at street level and up to 30-feet high; while the adjacent landscape on many rail-to-trails can be mostly vegetated.

Note: these urban greenways types are often combined into a network.
