Patrones caracterizadores de la forma periurbana: parametrización de la relación huerta-ciudad en el Área Metropolitana de Valencia

Abstract

After the appearance, during last century seventies, of Urban Design as a new discipline and methodological tool capable of taken over the city shape and urban space design, after a long period of crisis of urban planning started at the early nineties, in which the instrumental character of the Plan has gained greater importance than the projective component thereof, is found the current need to value the discipline of urban design processes urban planning and in particular in peri urban areas. This article defines a number of patterns characterizing the peri urban shape from variables involved in urban edge areas and allows us to evaluate the suitability of the country-city relationship, focusing the study in the Valencia Metropolitan Area.
