Abstract
Green infrastructure can be defined as an interconnected network of greenspace that conserves natural ecosystem values and functions and provides associated benefits to human populations. Green infrastructure planning involves the strategic planning and management of these networks. A review of existing ordinances and a green infrastructure inventory indicate that Anderson Township, in southwest Ohio, is quite rich in green infrastructure assets and is well positioned to preserve lands and develop sustainably through existing comprehensive plan initiatives and the Township Greenspace Program. However, the absence of green infrastructure as a defined concept within the comprehensive plan limits the ability of the Township to fully achieve a sustainable development framework. Other options should be explored to protect and expand upon the core green infrastructure network in Anderson Township.
