Peri-Urban Areas: Sustainability Dimension

Abstract

Peri-urban areas are defined as the areas that surround our metropolitan areas and cities - neither urban nor rural in the conventional sense. They are the fastest growing regions, globally. This paper comprises of various definitions, Peri-urban as a process andfactors of Peri-urbangrowth and changes occurred in the environment due to it. This paper also covers the sustainability of such areas that leads to issues of natural resource depletion, environmental deterioration, various human health consequences, land use change and Peri-urban water insecurity. It outlines the policies that are interrelated to the Peri-urban areas. Hence; it will be pertinent to study an approach that responds to the specific environment, social, economic and environmental aspects of the Peri-urban interface. Thereby, concluding the paper with a further focus on the sustainabilityof Peri-urban area and its assessment
