Reviews

'The European rural-urban fringe is a neglected spatial territory in academic and policy research. This book offers a unique analysis of international attempts to understand and explain urban pressures on rural areas. Urban and rural geographers, planners, anthropologists and economic development specialists will find the book an invaluable contribution to debates on the future of the European territory.' Mark Tewdwr-Jones, University College London, UK 'The City's Hinterland highlights broad conceptual issues relating to change in city hinterlands, provides extensive comparative material on the process involved, and will be of particular value to policy-makers, practitioners, researchers and students of contemporary process of change in the European countryside.' Mary Cawley, National University of Ireland
