Sammendrag
The master thesis investigates the dynamics of urban expansion into peri-urban areas, emphasizing the roles of land consolidation and land readjustment in fostering sustainable development. Peri-urban areas, characterized by their position at the interface between urban and rural landscapes, are undergoing significant transformations due to urban expansion. These regions face unique challenges, including environmental degradation, loss of agricultural land, and infrastructural deficits, exacerbated by rapid urbanization.
The research explores how land consolidation and land readjustment can be strategically employed to address these challenges. The thesis synthesizes findings from various European contexts to recommend approaches tailored to the Norwegian landscape, leveraging international practices.
This study does not only shed light on the environmental impacts of peri-urban development but also provides recommendations for using land policy tools to promote more resilient and sustainable urban-rural transitions.
