“Extremadura’s urban system and its impact on rural development” - CIUDAD y TERRITORIO Estudios Territoriales

Introduction

"We are informed that subjects such as cohesion and disparities in spatial development cause deep concern at the very heart of the EU. In this context cities, as factors in the conception of a polycentric territorial model of complementary effects and cooperation as within a network and here now play a signal role thanks to the efforts made by the Ministers of Territorial Ordering throughout the decade of the nineties, which lead on to the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP)."

Description

“On a practical level, this document is felt to have lacked any practical outcomes as yet in either Spain or most of the other Communities. The urban system of Extremadura is here examined under a Multivariate Analysis to uncover its urban ground workings and ranking system along with a questionnaire –much like that employed by Professor Casas Torres in 1967- so as to establish areas of influence, and analyse their evolution during the last third of the twentieth century. Once said urban system has been come at, the influence that these cities may have had in rural development as to population stabilizing during the last decade will be sought after and, happily, determined.”
