Residential Development in the Urban Fringe: a Conflict Interpretation
Abstract
The countryside around towns is under increasing pressure for development as a result of the centrifugal forces which have characterized the capitalist urbanization process in the post-war era. Conflict between pro-growth and anti-growth interests is now endemic in many peri-urban areas. Land for housing forms a major battleground in the conflict between the opposing forces. This paper identifies the principal agents involved in the production of the built environment in the urban fringe and presents a detailed analysis of how divergent interests interact to determine the nature of the fringe environment.References
