"At the moment, contrary trends can be observed all over Europe, as expressed by regions that are growing more and more affluent, and by others that are growing poorer and poorer...cities are growing at the edges and blurring their boundaries with the surroundings areas. Planners are therefore in search of strategies for the sprawling peripheries, and are trying to initiate infill development to counter the overspill on the outskirts."
