Resumo(s)
Peri-urban areas are diverse and complex landscapes. It is this complexity that is being
recognized as the ground for the capacity to provide answers to the emerging global
challenges, such as climate change, food security and the well-being of an increasingly
urban population. Peri-urban areas have been rather neglected in regional and urban
planning: they were perceived as a space for urban sprawl and the location of regional and
trans-regional infrastructures. Despite the renewed attention being given to peri-urban areas,
these remain geographically and conceptually ill-defined. This paper aims to contribute to
this debate by approaching peri-urban landscapes from a transdisciplinary perspective. It
does so by gathering different views as held by a panel of experts and a group of
stakeholders on how peri-urban areas can be defined, what is unique about them and,
ultimately, which criteria should be used in its definition. The obtained results made it
possible to present the diversity of perspectives, as well as the common views. Together,
these may provide better understanding towards the development of a new planning agenda
for peri-urban landscapes
