摘要
An increase in the size of the urban population of the world and the extensive urbanization in the peripheral areas of metropolises is one of the emerging phenomena of the twentieth century, and for several years has become the implicit theme of urban and regional studies. Since the beginning of the 20th century, many attempts have been made to conceptualize these emerging phenomena, which in some cases, the multiplicity of these concepts, have led to confusion in the definition and understanding of the phenomenon. The present paper uses a meta-study strategy to study 19 concepts related to the spatial territories of the peripheral areas of metropolises, according to the parameters of spatial structure, functional structure, and semantic structure, and we, respectively, categorized them in three types: a) A contiguous peri-urban/intermediate peri-urban/rural peri-urban; b) An independent, productive, regular, sustainable peri-urban/dependent, destructive, disturbed, unstable peri-urban, c) An objective and subjective peri-urban. Obviously, this research, with an emphasis on the distinctive characteristics of the three typologies, can be an important step towards a more comprehensive understanding of these spatial territories.
