Resumo(s)
The chapter presents typologies of peri-urban areas of Lisbon
Metropolitan Area (LMA) regarding social and economic dimensions. These typologies
are the outcome of a trans-disciplinary research developed by the project
PERI-URBAN involving different Portuguese universities, crossing academic fi elds
and integrating the knowledge of stakeholders from diverse institutional and territorial
(local and regional) backgrounds. By bridging science and society, transdisciplinarity
allows the translation of knowledge acquired in research into useful
and relevant information for planners and decision-makers. The analysis reveals
diverse socioeconomic realities demanding different and specifi c political
approaches envisaging sustainable peri-urban territories in a changing world. The
socioeconomy of peri-urban areas considers identities and lifestyle issues (e.g., age,
family patterns, living and working conditions) and economic characteristics (e.g.,
main economic activities, economic organisation and structuring, attractiveness).
The infl uence of a metropolitan area is expressed by continuing investments in
peripheral areas that offer sources of labour and natural resources such as land. The
presence of industries, services, logistics and distribution platforms, enterprises,
housing, big store chains, etc., constitutes manifestations of this realm. Plus, and in
parallel, the coexistence of a rural-agriculture matrix establishes a hybrid territory
where distinct activities co-exist defi ning distinct degrees of specialisation/diversity
of the economic tissue
