The conference is organized jointly by the PLUREL project; ASEM 4th Symposium on Urban Forestry; Landscape Tomorrow; Danish Association of Landscape Ecologists; & Danish Architecture Centre.
The conference aims to i) present the status of scientific approaches to assess the peri-urban land-use relationships and associated effects on sustainability, ii) to set the agenda for future research in the field, and iii) enhance international research cooperation. The event targets a broad spectrum of participants, recognising the multidisciplinarity of research in urban-rural linkages. This includes, but is not limited to, those in the fields of land use, urban and rural development, planning, architecture, geography, economics, social and environmental sciences, urban forestry and urban greening. Contributions may address methodological, theoretical issues, applications or dissemination, and participatory aspects.
