Suburbanisation
Spatial development glossary, European Conference of Ministers responsible for Spatial/Regional Planning (CEMAT), Territory and landscape, No 2, published by Council of Europe Publishing in 2007, defines suburbanisation as: ‘…a process related to the development of suburbs around large cities and metropolitan areas. The process of suburbanisation is generated by the growth (increase of total population) as well as by internal re-structuring of cities… The suburbanisation process is often assimilated to that of urban sprawl, especially when it comes to blame the growing traffic problems and the destruction of natural landscapes and resources.’
