urban to rural... Explanation: urbà, periurbà, rururbà i voraurbà Most of these are not in my Institut d'Estudis Dic, but their meaning is fairly clear. It's just a Q of using the right words in English. I suggest the following: tipologies espacials Planning zone types*: Urban area(s) Suburban area(s) Built-up rural area(s)? Adjacent area(s) This is guesswork,ideas, given the difficulty posed by the similarity between the 2nd and the 4th. From your text, it may become obvious that, e.g. they are moving out, within an expanding circle that starts at the centre of town. *This is a guess, but given that they do in fact establish 'tipologies', by implication they are 'planning zones', which is the term used in English. I'm going to see if I come up with anything on the internet, and will return if I find anything. |

urban periphery Explanation: I found very little. 'Peri-urban' exists as an adjective. The noun is the 'urban periphery' Any search for rural-urban overlapped the above! I suggest that the 2nd is 'urban periphery' and the 4th is 'suburbs'. For the 3rd, I cannot think of an alternative. They all seem to overlap so! |
