Integrating Digital Data into Greenway Planning with Augmented Reality
Digital technologies, such as geographic information systems, are an integral part of the greenway planning process. A wealth of new technologies is evolving that provide improved data for planning and methods for evaluating the temporal and spatial qualities of a place. Augmented reality is a technology that can improve and enrich the user’s greenway experience. Augmented reality (AR) systems merge computer-generated graphics with a view of the physical world by aligning or registering computer graphics with a place. (Azuma, 1997) AR systems do not create a simulation of the physical world; rather augmented reality takes a real object or space as the foundation and incorporates computer graphics that add contextual data, information and meaning to a real object or place to deepen a person’s understanding. The paper will provide a clear background of augmented reality (AR), how it is being applied today, and describes the potential AR applications for greenway users. The goal is to provide greenway planners’ with a vision for how greenways will be used and interpreted in the future by users of AR technology

Adapting to Expanding and Contracting Cities, Book of Abstracts, 6th Fabos Conference on Landscape and Greenway Planning, March 28-30, 2019, Amherst, MA.
The Fábos Conference on Landscape and Greenway Planning is held every three years to bring together experts who are influencing landscape planning, policy making and greenway planning from the local to international level. It is intended to highlight recent trends and expand the literature about landscape and greenway planning. The aim is to explore how landscape architects and planners from different countries have approached greenway planning and to understand how greenways have been tailored to each county’s unique geographical, cultural, and political circumstances. The theme for the 2019 conference, Urban Greenway Planning: Adapting to Expanding and Contracting Cities, explores the social and ecological potential of linear green spaces in urban areas that are experiencing decline or those that are booming. We look to understand the variety of ways in which urban greenways are conceived, designed, built, used, and maintained in cities across the globe in response to economic and demographic trends
