Micro Green Corridors™ (MGCs)

Transforming Underutilized Micro-Lots Into Functional Green Infrastructure

What MGCs Is

Micro Green Corridors™ (MGCs) is a consulting service that converts constrained privately owned micro-lots into code-compliant ecological assets.
These are small, narrow, irregular, or highly restricted sites that typically cannot support conventional development — yet can deliver meaningful environmental, social, and economic value when designed strategically.

SAN provides a clear technical pathway for property owners to activate their most challenging land.
