The term Green Structure is borrowed from the European planning model that links the natural "green" qualities of the environment with the organizing human "structure" of an urban or landscape design. The use of this concept can be applied to both urban and natural environments.  The green structure is a mechanism to control or maintain the natural environment when intervention or urbanization has caused an imbalance. Portion of Harfmann/Day publication
