- Discussion/Intersting aspects:
- (Heike) Is it still the current planning style today?
- (Ellen) Does it still have impact on the city and its periphery?
- (Aycim) Was it applied ?
- (Itziar) One part of Madrid (east part) was planned in this style.
- (Itziar) The case study is basically about urban and landscape planning.
- (Heike) Case study title should be edited.
- (Ellen) Has Madrid developed very fast? Has the landscape been destroyed?
- (Itziar) The development is concentrated in the urban city part. There is not much about nature conservation in the city periphery

How can the transformation process be connected with the landscape sub-typologies?
Aycim presented her presentation about her case study answers combined to the 2nd and 3rd questions.
How may landscape planning contribute to quality improvement?
Emel presented her answer to this question reg. the city of van. Following aspects are of importance:
- agriculture in the urban fringe
- agriculture as a green infrastructure element
- green infrastructure
- aesthetic quality
- quality of life in rur-urben areas
- flexibility of life styles
- environmental quality
- creating green links for wholeness
- where does rural start
- rur-urban
Emel tried to illustrate her idea in a graphic:
- quality of life
- rural development/
- environmental management
- R-urban
- landscape planning
- landscape planning strategies + instruments connections
- environmental + social aspects of quality of life
