Beeftink}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/2575/}, abstract = {Peri-urban areas are increasingly complex and a specific entities with adaptive capacities. Transitions are a feature of complex adaptive systems to adapt to changed contexts, including fundamental changes. Warsaw?s peri-urban area is currently going through a transition, from heavily industrialised towards a service economy, with fundamental spatial(-economic) consequences.} }
