Nature-Based Solutions with linear features provide transport services and access to public and private areas. Examples of linear nature-based solution features include cycle tracks, footpaths, and road verges. These areas can have multiple benefits such as mobility, pollution removal, biodiversity enhancement, water management, recreation, and education opportunities.

For many city dwellers, these areas are the only points of contact with nature on a daily basis, thus it is important to ensure proper maintenance and design of linear features and linear routes.
