Urban Green Line
The Urban Green Line team
Sustain our Nation provided inspiration and focus to start the Urban Green Line, a social enterprise and network. SoN's commitment to social design and the themes of health and environmental change were particularly important. Throughout the process judges provided guidance and critique that helped redefine and sharpen the organization.
As a green trail running through the city, the Urban Green Line connects communities to green spaces and sustainable organizations — encouraging walking, co-creation and guerrilla gardening along the way. The main visual element is a green line “painted” on the ground, linking green spaces. The line itself can take shape as a grass line, a moss line, a chalk line or a virtual line on urbangreenline.org. Apart from tagging green spaces on an interactive map, website users can also share information and build a lively online community.
Online and off, the network connects and mobilizes people, organizations and businesses for a greener, healthier and more sustainable future together.
The website and events calendar will be launched in the summer of 2010 and in the coming years the Urban Green Line will be activating communities with just a simple green line.
