“…However, the so-called buffer zones between the cities are also an important aspect of the Randstad-Green Heart planning doctrine (Faludi & Van der Valk, 1994;Lambregts & Zonneveld, 2004;Van Gessel, 1990). These are wedges located between urban agglomerations on the "rim" of the Randstad, preventing them from growing into one massive ring surrounding the Green Heart.…”

Land consolidation is generally considered to be a slow planning instrument that does not fit with the present-day dynamics of green areas within the metropolitan domain. Other instruments are now being launched to plan metropolitan green areas. However, the land consolidation approach has been used in the Midden-Delfland region, and has made it possible to preserve and improve this metropolitan green area. This shows that "slow planning" can be an asset for preserving green areas. Moreover, the Midden-Delfland case exhibits a promising combination of collaborative planning and top-down project planning, indicating that different ways of influencing spatial developments, such as supporting spatial quality by carrying out contract works and maintenance, changing zones, and modifying land ownership, can be beneficial in practice.

In the heated debate on new residential development in the countryside, rural vitality is used in three different discourses: the agri-rural, utilitarian and hedonist. Discussions on the future of the Dutch countryside in general and a designated National Landscape north of Amsterdam in particular illustrate how the term rural vitality, depending on the discourse, is used to either support or oppose residential development. As in the region studied, the utilitarian discourse is increasingly important and its consequences – residential development in a highly valued landscape – are most controversial, we chose to evaluate its validity. This quantitative evaluation makes use of a geographical information system (GIS) and highly detailed spatial data. The results show no clear relationship between the construction of houses and different indicators of rural vitality such as employment and facility levels. Therefore, we question the validity of the utilitarian discourses' argument for supporting residential development.Rural vitality , socio‐economic development , discourse , spatial analysis , open space preservation , spatial planning ,
