Abstract

The city-region potential emerges in the boundary spaces. These areas are seen currently as strategic spaces, in contrast of old-fashioned idea of peripheral spaces. We consider them as optimum places full of opportunities to build modern metropolitan cites. The main features arise from interaction, otherwise than transition or blocked spaces. The challenge is the to turn this space into diversity and permeability, into urban discontinuities that highlight the differences and recognize the interactions of the top metropolitan livability. The structural interaction in cities-regions evokes an evolution of our territories towards sustainability based on a dynamic territorial equilibrium, able to be transformed by culture and heritage factors. Identifying the variety of urban and non-urban contact spaces (treated at different project scales) and sorting the contact city spaces means doing a step forward to the optimization of urban and environmental ecosystems. It is also crucial to separate different ways of living and also encourage the maintenance of proximity economies.
