A good introduction with interesting examples.

a good introduction to urban green and blue infrastructure, including touching on the potential for highways to provide linear connection corridors. Some questions on the quiz were a little unclear in the wording where additional answers could have been considered correct, going by the information in the course, but were not considered the right answer.
