The City's Hinterland

Dynamism and Divergence in Europe's Peri-Urban Territories
Herausgeber: Hoggart, Keith

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Despite the fact that the rural commuter belts of cities are major loci of population change, economic growth and dynamic social change within city regions, most research tends to focus on the built-up city core. By comparing four major European cities (in England, France, Germany and Spain), this book offers the first comparative investigation of the dynamism of city rural hinterlands.
