Abstract

Cities are dynamic human artifacts; they constantly undergo structural change, redevelopment, and growth. Such processes also involve changes in urban relationships with the surrounding territory, most conspicuously on their outskirts. The spatial and environment-development issues in the transitional zones between distinctly urban and clearly rural areas, which have historically been labeled, studied, and understood in different ways. Nevertheless, their importance lies everywhere in their dynamic mix of functions and land uses; increasing population densities; growing significance as sources of urban food, construction materials, and other resources; as urban waste disposal or treatment sites; and as recreational zones.
