There is also recognition that the urban - rural dichotomy that is deeply ingrained in planning systems is inadequate for dealing with processes of environmental and developmental change in the peri-urban context. This paper argues that environmental planning and management of the peri-urban interface cannot simply be based on the extrapolation of planning approaches and tools applied in rural and urban areas. Instead, it needs to be based on the construction of an approach that responds to the specific environment, social, economic and institutional aspects of the peri-urban interface. The paper also outlines approaches to environmental planning and management in the peri-urban interface, examining its specificity in terms of both the challenges faced and possible approaches for implementation. - Reproduced.  aEnvironmental planning  aEnvironmental management  aEnvironment and Urbanization  a56309  c56309d56309  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 15, Issue no: 1pAR56754r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
