Urban Sprawl: Characteristics and Impacts
The contemporary city has increasingly been characterised by certain distinctive features, in particular by a progressive urban fragmentation and by a
polarisation and specialisation of some functions and services outside the
urban centres, which resulted in a growing increase of mobility.
The phenomenon, known as urban sprawl, is generalised and extended and
has been studied extensively in its social, economic, cultural, political and
institutional components
6 as well as in its causes, impacts,
7 formal expressions and local specificities, which have led to different manifestations of the
phenomenon according to the different territorial and geographical contexts.
