This thesis explores the reciprocal relationships between heritage tourism and greenway design and to evaluate how the integration of these two promotes sustainable and successful heritage greenway design. It hopes to propose reasonable strategies that, when applied to physical greenway projects, will greatly promote heritage tourism prosperity. Further, it hopes to inspire planners and landscape architects to consider incorporating heritage tourism into greenway design at both the systematic level and at specific sites. By creating a criteria framework concerning crucial elements from heritage tourism and greenway design, case studies are investigated and analyzed in regard to how they apply to the criteria. Then the Savannah Greenway project theoretically and practically gives an example of how the methodologies of this thesis would be employed physically in greenway projects, which ultimately proposes recommendations that are applied to the Savannah Greenway Conceptual Plan.
