On a beaucoup étudié le transfert de ressources naturelles des espaces péri-urbains vers les espaces urbains (annexions foncières, construction de logements, infrastructures). L'analyse des effets d'une nouvelle allocation des ressources en eau péri
-urbaines afin de satisfaire les besoins urbains souligne la dépendance des ménages péri-urbains vivant de l'agriculture et de l'élevage vis-à-vis de l'eau. Dans Hermosillo (Sonora), une très forte pression existe sur les ressources en eau des petites

Contested Landscapes of Urban Sprawl: Landscape Protection and Regional Planning in Scania, Sweden, 1932–1947

of one of the earliest attempts to control peri-urban development at a regional level in Sweden. The discourse on sprawl is first introduced and the fruitfulness of landscape studies in capturing inherent and conflicting aims within planning is examined
Studies in landscape and planning history are used here in order to critically examine the debate on urban sprawl and to reveal embedded conflicts within spatial planning aiming to curb sprawl. The paper aims to illustrate this with an examination
for the development of the plan, as well as the contradictory treatment of urban sprawl (on a local and regional level), is demonstrated. The final part discusses the importance of this historiography for the ability to deal with the current planning situation
. The conclusion is that urban sprawl is not necessarily the result of weak or absent planning, but rather of embedded contradictions within planning; therefore stronger planning will never be sufficient as long as the inherent conflicts within the plans
The new equine sector and its influence on multifunctional land use in peri-urban areas
Les AA. analysent l’impact du secteur équestre sur le développement des utilisations du sol multifonctionnelles en zones péri-urbaines suédoises. (Skåne, Halland, Gåvle, Stockholm). Ils étudient ces différentes caractéristiques du point de vue de la
planification régionale, économique et du développement durable. Ils expliquent qu’il est nécessaire de comprendre comment les différentes parties prenantes peuvent-elles coopérer pour dynamiser le développement rural et péri-urbain. Ils concluent que la

The Urban West and the Rural Rest: Framing in Dutch Regional Planning in the 1950s
Agriculture ; Core-periphery ; Historical geography ; Industry ; Netherlands (The) ; Regional planning ; Regional planning authority ; Rural area ; Twentieth Century ; Urban area ; Urban-rural dichotomy ; northern Netherlands ; peri-urban landscape
This paper draws on the case of Dutch regional planning in the 1950s to investigate how ‘urban space’ and ‘rural space’ have traditionally been perceived as opposing concepts. During this decade, politicians, planners and policy-makers constructed
an image of an overdeveloped, urban, industrial centre on the one hand, and an underdeveloped, rural, agricultural periphery on the other. Rooted in a debate about the ‘harmonious’ development of the Netherlands, this image made a substantial contribution
to the schematic understanding of urban and rural space. Examining this frame as an historical construct helps to reveal the anachronistic character of many of the urban-rural differentiations that are made today.

Commuting behaviour and urban form : a longitudinal study of a polycentric urban region in Denmark
Commuting ; Denmark ; Form of transport ; Journey to work ; Jylland ; Location ; Urban morphology ; Urban region ; Urban transport
It is an empirical investigation of the relation between urban form and commuting behaviour in a polycentric urban region. It explores to what extent urban form and location variables help to explain commuting time, distance and mode based
on an empirical case, East Jutland, which is a polycentric urban region. Empirical findings indicate that urban form and location variables help to explain the three selected aspects of commuting.
Characterising urban sprawl on a local scale with accessibility measures

The study aims to develop and operationalise accessibility-based sprawl indicators. It employs two accessibility-based indicator categories and develops their measures : accessibilities to urban functions and open spaces. The index shaws a clear
Capturing images is entwined in a complex web of associations, linking the epistemology of research practice with the perceived nature of evolving spatial processes. One example of this is the way urban geographers use images to document
the transformation of urban landscape. The discourses of post-industrial entrepreneurial urbanism that stimulated the development of Irish cities during the Celtic Tiger offer a clear case in point. Taking the Celtic Tiger as a starting point, the article explores
one image taken during fieldwork researching urban change in Cork.
The paper offers an interpretation of Landscape Urbanism. It attempts to decode the prolix language in which L U is presented and to identify a number of ‘tenets’ which most of its adherents would hold. The second part of the paper questions some
of these tenets, asking whether L U’s attack on the urban–rural binary is well conceived and whether it is a helpful contribution to the problems raised by worldwide urbanisation. It concludes that there are a number of inconsistencies and lacunae which landscape

On a sample of US urbanized areas in 2000, the AA. test theoretical hypotheses of the effect of land-use controls on the spatial size of urban areas. Minimum lot-size zoning and maximum FAR restrictions expand the urban area, while maximum lot-size
zoning, urban growth boundaries, maximum square footage limits, maximum building permit restrictions, minimum person per room controls, and impact fees contract the urban area.

The geography of gentrification. Thinking through comparative urbanism

The paper revisits the geography of gentrification thinking through the literature on comparative urbanism. Given the mega-gentrification affecting many cities in the Global South, gentrification researchers need to adopt a postcolonial approach
taking on board critiques around developmentalism, categorization and universalism. In addition they need to draw on recent work on the mobilities and assemblages of urban policies/policy-making in order to explore if, and how, gentrification has
