Abstract
ABSTRACT This article describes how the socio-spatial context and institutional factors affect the outcomes produced by greenways. Using the case study approach, it analyses the design and management of two long greenways in Spain: the Girona and Ojos Negros Greenways. Even though the spatial context is relevant, institutional factors have a prominent role in the success of the Greenway. If the greenway is designed and constructed by a single existing stakeholder, it is easier and quicker, but if more stakeholders are involved and there is a specific institution for greenway management, the greenway obtains better long-term outcomes.
