Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024The aim of this paper is, starting from the problem of peripheral landscapes produced by urban sprawl forms, to define a methodology for analysing the quality of peripheral public space in municipalities surrounded by natural spaces of environmental value, in order to evaluate their potential quality as environmental corridors, civic axes and natural gateways. To define the evaluation with proper indicators the investigation is based in the origin of the urban greenbelts and in the case study of the northern boundary of the municipality of Fuenlabrada (Madrid, Spain) with the Bosque Sur Periurban Forest Park and its comparison with Midden-Delfland, a buffer-zone belonging to the area known as Randstad Holland.
