The Governance of Periurban Agricultural Land

Abstract

This paper deals with local farmland protection policies implemented in Provence and Tuscany, taking into account legislative and institutional changes. It compares the regulatory frameworks and their implementation in seven suburban municipalities since 1960 through archives consultation and in-depth interviews. The results allow a discussion of the impact of the decentralization of planning powers. They show the primacy of municipal planning, beyond the differences of institutional framework between France and Italy, even before decentralization and despite the control by intermediate levels of government (département, region). The diversity of municipal trajectories highlights the limitations of planning and the weight of local negotiations with stakeholders in the regulation of farmland conversion on the urban fringe.
