Peri-Urban Interface

The peri-urban interface is the transitional zone where urban areas (cities) meet rural regions (countryside). It’s a dynamic area characterized by a mix of land uses, such as farming, residential development, and small businesses. This zone often experiences rapid change due to urban expansion, leading to challenges like land use conflicts, infrastructure development, and environmental pressures. The peri-urban interface is crucial for sustainable city growth, as it influences resource management, local economies, and community interactions between urban and rural residents.
