title: Peri-urban dynamics, transitions in complex adaptive systems: a case study of Greater Manchester

abstract: The spatial economical configuration of the peri urban area, with a clear separation between rural and urban functions, is no longer a realistic standard. The peri-urban area is an integrated rural-urban area characterized by dynamic developments. Increasing complexity of rural-urban relationships in the peri-urban area has resulted in incongruence between spatial changes and spatial policy. In order to better understand the dynamic developments that are at play in the peri-urban area, this research suggests a complex epistemology; fundamental changes are considered as transitions. Transitions are believed to be crucial in the understanding of complex behaviour and dynamic systems. The general objective is to examine whether change in the peri-urban area could be explained by the concept of transition. Moreover, the aim is to explore the possibilities and limitations of embracing a complexity approach and acknowledging uncertainty in planning.
