Greenbelt, Planned community from New Deal era in Prince George's County, United States.
The residential area features abundant green spaces, pedestrian walkways, and Art Deco buildings arranged in a curved pattern around the central commercial district.
The federal government initiated Greenbelt construction in 1936 as Maryland Special Project No. 1, with first residents moving into their homes in September 1937.
Greenbelt maintains multiple community organizations, neighborhood events, and recreational programs that connect residents through shared activities and social gatherings.
The city connects to Washington D.C. through the Metro Green Line station and provides direct access to major highways including Interstate 95 and Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center occupies the land adjacent to Greenbelt's eastern border, employing thousands of scientists and aerospace professionals.
