The Edge of the City

Abstract

The paper is a reflection upon the parallel but largely unconnected modes of study of the rural-urban fringe, which had their origins in the 1930s, each stemming from a different country and owing their development to quite separate academic perspectives. The work of urban morphologists is set alongside that of urban fringe researchers and land-use planners to demonstrate the lack of appreciation of the importance of cognate, but different research traditions.
