greenbelts
Urban development barriers
Greenbelts are protected zones of undeveloped land surrounding urban areas, intended to prevent sprawl and preserve open space.
Planning authorities designate greenbelts to maintain boundaries between cities and countryside: The greenbelt kept the suburbs from swallowing the farmland.
In martial arts, a green belt indicates intermediate rank between white and black.
