Enhancing landscape connectivity through multifunctional green infrastructure corridor modeling and design
Abstract
We develop a social-ecological approach to enhancing urban landscape connectivity. We assess landscape connectivity in Detroit and find highly fragmented habitat. We identify 27 corridors to increase connectivity in Detroit using vacant land. Green corridors are prioritized using a gravity model and network analysis. We develop site-scale design typologies for multifunctional corridors.
