“…These analyses have often focused separately on the physical city environment e with spaces and forms seen from an operational (i.e. planning) perspective e and on the economic space e with urban functions interpreted according to specific spatial organization models (Neuman & Hull, 2009). The integration of these two perspectives is required for a better understanding of the transformations of urban forms and economic spaces in recent times (Parr, 2014).…”

“…As a matter of fact, southern European urban regions often developed through paths distinct from either those observed in Western Europe and those found in non-European Mediterranean countries [21][22][23][24]. Sprawl-driven settlement scattering and polycentric development constitute the most recent expansion phase, altering the typical mono-centric spatial organization with negative implications for land use efficiency [25,26].…”

Abstract:The present study illustrates a multidimensional analysis of an indicator of urban land use efficiency (per-capita built-up area, LUE) in mainland Attica, a Mediterranean urban region, along different expansion waves : compaction and densification in the 1960s, dispersed growth along the coasts and on Athens' fringe in the 1970s, fringe consolidation in the 1980s, moderate re-polarization and discontinuous expansion in the 1990s and sprawl in remote areas in the 2000s. The non-linear trend in LUE (a continuous increase up to the 1980s and a moderate decrease in 1990 and 2000 preceding the rise observed over the last decade) reflects Athens' expansion waves. A total of 23 indicators were collected by decade for each municipality of the study area with the aim of identifying the drivers of land use efficiency. In 1960, municipalities with low efficiency in the use of land were concentrated on both coastal areas and Athens' fringe, while in 2010, the lowest efficiency rate was observed in the most remote, rural areas. Typical urban functions (e.g., mixed land uses, multiple-use buildings, vertical profile) are the variables most associated with high efficiency in the use of land. Policies for sustainable land management should consider local and regional factors shaping land use efficiency promoting self-contained expansion and more tightly protecting rural and remote land from dispersed urbanization. LUE is a OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 3360 promising indicator reflecting the increased complexity of growth patterns and may anticipate future urban trends.

“…Pese a que no hay un único paradigma que explique el concepto de ciudad-región (Neuman & Hull, 2009), siguiendo a Healey (2009), podemos considerarlo en general como un dispositivo organizativo de las áreas urbanas y, al mismo tiempo, como un elemento capaz de explicar las dinámicas territoriales. Como vimos, existe un considerable número de investigaciones que pretenden echar luz sobre la evolución conceptual y las dinámicas territoriales asociadas a las áreas urbanas, pero ¿cómo se consideran estos patrones urbanos en la práctica del planeamiento?…”

Instrumentos ad hoc para la ordenación y gestión de las áreas urbanas plurimunicipales Pablo Elinbaum. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Buenos Aires, Argentina.resumen | Tras medio siglo de intensos procesos de urbanización, la identificación entre municipio y ciudad presenta un marcado desencaje conceptual, formal y funcional. No es casual que en la reciente bibliografía especializada se utilice un sinnúmero de conceptos y neologismos como, por ejemplo, área urbana, ciudad-región o ciudadterritorio, para explicar los nuevos patrones urbanos. Sin embargo, en la práctica, estos conceptos no casan bien con ninguno de los niveles convencionales de los sistemas de planeamiento ni con las jurisdicciones administrativas históricas. Frente al desencaje entre la teoría y las estructuras territoriales, surge una nueva generación de planes capaces de abordar los problemas y las oportunidades que se dan simultáneamente en múltiples escalas, particularmente en la local y en la regional. Mediante la comparación de tres planes de escala intermedia, se pretende evidenciar la innovación y la especificidad del planeamiento de las áreas urbanas plurimunicipales. Argumentamos que la implementación de planes en la escala intermedia -por fuera del corsé de los sistemas de planeamiento-es una oportunidad excepcional para promover la gobernanza y superar la histórica fragmentación entre el urbanismo y la ordenación territorial. palabras clave | reescalamiento, ordenamiento territorial, desarrollo regional y local. abstract | After half a century of intense processes of urbanization, the correlation between municipalities and cities shows an explicit conceptual, formal and functional contradiction. It is no coincidence that countless concepts and neologisms such as urban area, city-region or urban-region emerge in the recent
