I found this article relating to greening communities and its benefits. check it out if your interested. i included the purpose statement
Purpose: We define strategies shrinking cities can use to convert vacant properties to valuable green infrastructure to revitalize
urban environments, empower community residents, and stabilize dysfunctional real estate markets. To do this we examine shrinking cities and their vacant property challenges; identify the benefits of urban greening; explore the policies,
obstacles, and promise
of a green infrastructure initiative;
and discuss vacant property reclamation programs and policies that would form the nucleus of a model green infrastructure right-sizing initiative designed to stabilize
the communities with the greatest
level of abandonment.
