Narrative:

Green hydraulic system reservoir overheat followed ECAM and turned off ptu and green system engine driven hydraulic pump. [We] coordinated with dispatch and maintenance control. [We] obtained landing distance from dispatch. [We] explored issues and expectations with maintenance control. Confirmed we could not use green system unless overheat corrected itself. Per non normal checklist- extended landing gear (manual gear extension produced normal gear down/locked indications). Declared emergency and requested emergency equipment due to loss of nose wheel steering. Long downwind/final; normal landing. [We] stopped on runway then exited on high speed and stopped. Requested tow in from company.

Title: A319 flight crew reports a Green Hydraulic System overheat ECAM just prior to start of descent. ECAM actions are complied with and crew lands normally after extending the gear via gravity extension; with a tow to the gate.
