Description

PLUREL Xplorer, a web-based information platform that condensates and configures the knowledge and various products of the PLUREL (Peri-urban Land Use Relationships – Strategies and Sustainability Assessment Tools for Urban – Rural Linkages) project into a form that supports planning and policy discussions on rural-urban land use interactions at European and regional level. It addresses the challenges associated with planning and controlling urban development, including: How might climate change affect land uses in the urban-rural interface? What might be future pressures of peri-urbanisation? How will people value agricultural farming in the rural hinterland? Will there be enough water for growing urban agglomerations? What about biodiversity and ecosystem services? Are there best practice examples for sustainable peri-urbanisation?
