Abstract：Greenway is a flexible landscape concept with diverse forms in different context. Recently in China, greenways have achieved rapidly growth and become national policy in environmental governance. Although there have been debates on how to achieve the ecological, recreational and economic benefits of greenways, especially in the Pearl River Delta greenway researches, green transportation and urban recreation are now influential greenway functions. The enhancement of the transportation function and urban location are responses to the increasing need for non-motorized transport and open spaces. However, greenways are now clearly recognized as an environmental and ecological concept in state policies. Over developed, lacking ecological concerns and highly overlapped with motorized system are now the main problems in understanding and implementing greenways. Therefore, as an environmental and ecological tool, future greenway research should pay more attention on the investigation of greenway resources, multi-disciplinary cooperation, environmental governance and public participation.
