Presently, peri-urbanisation is one of the most pervasive processes
of land use change in Europe with strong impacts on both the
environment and quality of life. It is a matter of great urgency to
determine strategies and tools in support of sustainable
development. The book synthesizes the results of PLUREL, a large
European Commission funded research project (2007-2010). Tools and
strategies of PLUREL address main challenges of managing land use
in peri-urban areas. These results are presented and illustrated by
means of 7 case studies which are at the core of the book. This
volume presents a novel, future oriented approach to the planning
and management of peri-urban areas with a main focus on scenarios
and sustainability impact analysis. The research is unique in that
it focuses on the future by linking quantitative scenario modeling
and sustainability impact analysis with qualitative and in-depth
analysis of regional strategies, as well as including a study at
European level with case study work also involving a Chinese case
study.
