Rural in Town: Traditional Agriculture, Population Trends, and Long-Term Urban Expansion in Metropolitan Rome

Abstract: Mediterranean regions have experienced a shift from accelerated urban growth typical of a post-industrial phase to a more recent spatial delocalization of population and economic activities reflecting discontinuous settlement expansion, land take, and the abandonment of cultivated areas around central cities. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of land-use, settlement, and demographic indicators, the present study explores urban growth and population density over a sufficiently long time period in a metro… Show more

“…Spontaneously spreading urbanisation in vineyards can negatively impact and destroy the vineyard landscape values forever in a short time. The intensified urbanization in vineyards documented in this article was also observed in other case studies from Slovakia (kopecká & Rosina, 2014;Izakovičová et al, 2017) as well as in other Eastern Bloc Communist coun-tries (Grigorescu et al, 2012;Novák et al, 2014) and Mediterranean countries (Salvati & Sabbi, 2011;Egidi et al, 2020).…”

“…With respect to this potential arrangement, the present land use and land cover is starkly dominated by agricultural areas, without clear trends upon abandonment [22]. On the contrary, urban sprawl and soil consumption are threatening the rurality of the Reserve especially at its borders [23,24], with artificial areas representing about 4% of the site. Natural and semi-natural vegetation is therefore reduced to minor remnants, with the mature stages of the most widespread vegetation series types, i.e., Quercus cerris woods, accounting for about 10% of the site.…”

“…This could further threaten food security and hamper the achievement of the sustainable development goals. This may be especially true in countries with more people and less land [6,7]. Since ancient times, China has been faced with the problem of the contradiction between "man and land".…”
