Land (use) transformation is one of the most important fields of
human induced environmental transformation, with an extensive
history dating back to antiquity. Land transformation did not abate
but, rather, accelerated and diversified with the onset of the
Industrial Revolution, the globalization of the world economy and
the expansion of population and technological capacity. Land
transformations, although localized, contribute to wider reaching,
including globally systemic, processes. Cities depend on the rural
areas around them in many ways. The traditional models of
(agricultural) land use around urban settlements such as that of
Von Thunen, illustrate the way in which settlements affected the
surrounding countryside in the early stages of urban growth. Nearby
land is used, depending on culture and level of economic activity,
but they involve little urban land cover on the land. The proposed
study tries to investigate the impact of urbanization on land use
dynamics in selected areas of the urban fringes of London.
