Note: The selected images are intended to illustrate that urban greenways exist along a naturalistic (**left** image) to constructed (**right** image) continuum. Additionally, a greenway can include several types and the various types can be combined into a network.

## **5. Discussion**

In the ensuing section we discuss the aforementioned results, interpreting patterns in the data with an eye towards implications for scholarship and practice. In addition to addressing each discrete category, this discussion acknowledges synergies between categories.

## *5.1. Journal*

As noted in the results, *Landscape & Urban Planning* published over half of urban greenway studies covered in this review. This can be partially explained by the journal having sponsored Special Issues on greenways in 1995 and 2006. Indeed, seven of the 21 studies published by *Landscape and Urban Planning* that were covered in this review, were published in these Special Issues. Considering the multifunctional nature of greenways, and that greenways are a prominent expression of landscape planning practice, this journal is well-suited to the topic at hand. This is reflected in the journal's aims and scope, guided by an underlying premise that "landscape science linked to planning and design can provide mutually supportive outcomes for people and nature" [50]. The prominence of this journal on urban greenways scholarship is also a testament to the legacy of Julius Gy Fábos, Emeritus Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Massachusetts, who co-edited the two aforementioned Special Issues.
