Abstract

The paper presents the results of the research project: "Emerging Territories as Spaces of Opportunity in Urban-Metropolitan Processes. Assessment of the peri-urban from the perspective of sustainable quality for the qualification of habitat-dwelling in the metropolitan region of Córdoba", whose general objectives were: a) to determine the territorial transformations and their environmental effects in the peri-urban territories emerging from the dynamics of urban-metropolitan expansion of Córdoba; b) articulate criteria and approaches of sustainable quality and urban-territorial resilience for the analysis and evaluation of territorial, urban and architectural design products, aimed at generating guidelines for habitat management and production; c) Establish the potential of peri-urban territories in the different dimensions of sustainability, for the improvement of the quality of habitat/dwelling.This work conceptually and methodologically redefined the metropolitan regions and in particular the peri-urban territory of the northwest and southwest arc of the Cordoba Region (RC).
