Can the maintenance and development of agricultural land-use in urban fringes be a strategy of a greenbelt?

	*Agriculture in the urban fringe		*Agriculture in the urban fringe

			As agriculture means production, it supplies the urban fringe in an industrial, economic, social and ecologic way.

	*Agriculture as a green infrastructure element		*Agriculture as a green infrastructure element

			In the case of Madrid, the agricultural land-use is not yet employed as a green belt strategy. There is need to reinforce the agricultural uses in the rural areas of Madrid, in order to capitalize and utilize the whole opportunities of it.

	*Green infrastructure		*Green infrastructure

			Green infrastructure is the interconnected network of open spaces and natural areas, such as greenways, wetlands, parks, forest preserves and native plant vegetation. It should have the task to avoid risks and improve the quality. Green infrastructure usually costs less to install and maintain when compared to traditional forms of infrastructure.

	*Creating green links for wholeness		*Creating green links for wholeness

			Green infrastructure projects also foster community cohesiveness by engaging all residents in the planning, planting and maintenance of the sites.

	*Greenbelt, agriculture as a part of it		*Greenbelt, agriculture as a part of it

			The agriculture as itself could be considered as a greenbelt strategy, as it presents plenty of opportunities to improve the environmental, the social and the aesthetic quality.

			The project of the Gavia Park, included in the Expansion of Vallecas, in Madrid, is an authentic bioclimatic boulevard, with plenty environmetal technologies. The most efficient ones are the 10 m high artificial trees (mettalic structures with vegetal covers) feature a bioclimate system. When outside it's warmer than 27 ºC, a system of vaporised water or wind lowers the temperature to 12ºC. This trees are also spaces that offer different activities for the users.
