Abstract

Continental migration flows and regional population movements affect peri-urban development. Social transition in terms of birth rates, ageing and household structure also contribute to peri-urban land use change, which creates environmental pressures and social fragmentation. Instruments to manage growth and control decline must concentrate on developing compact sub-centres in peri-urban areas by establishing strict zoning regulations against urban sprawl, and by restructuring urban low-rent areas.
