ABSTRACT

In the developing process of urbanization in China, PM2.5 pollution has become a problem that must be faced. Greenway, especially those in the community, is the important green infrastructure to improve ecological environment in urban areas, which plays a crucial role in PM2.5 reduction. With basic cognitive analysis on definitions and characteristics of community greenway and PM2.5, this paper proposed the strategy on planning and construction for greenways in community to reduce PM2.5 from four aspects including subarea construction, construction elements, allocation of afforestation plants and injection of regional culture, hoping to benefit the construction of greenways in community.
