<br />Universal Design Principles aim to create
<br />environments, products, and services that are
<br />accessible and usable by all people, regardless of
<br />their age, ability, or disability. These principles
<br />emphasize inclusivity, ensuring that designs
<br />accommodate a wide range of users with varying
<br />needs and preferences. Key aspects include
<br />simplicity, flexibility, intuitive use, and equitable
<br />access, which together promote usability and
<br />accessibility for everyone. By integrating universal
<br />design principles, designers and planners create
<br />more inclusive, functional, and user-friendly
<br />solutions that benefit all members of society.

<br />redevelopment plans for all or part of such urban
<br />areas.
<br />Urban Forestry is the planting, maintenance,

<br />trees, landscaped boulevards, gardens, river and
<br />coastal promenades, greenways, river corridors,
<br />wetlands, nature preserves, shelter belts of trees,
<br />and working trees at former industrial sites. Urban
<br />forests, through planned connections of green
<br />spaces, form the green infrastructure on which
<br />communities depend. Green infrastructure works
<br />at multiple scales from the neighborhood to the
<br />metro area to the regional landscape.
<br />Urban Growth Areas (UGA) are established as
<br />land that is envisioned for future areas of urban
<br />use and should include only those lands that meet
<br />the following criteria:
