IAŞI METROPOLITAN AREA – A GEOGRAPHICAL REVIEW CONCERNING IT’S REGIONAL ROLE
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Metropolitan development represents an administrative and economic "challenge" in terms of the management and coordination of a significant number of resources, being known in well developed countries as a feature of a new phase of urban development which follows a stage of concentration of the population in the city and the formation of suburbs; such socio-economic areas are defined by specialists as metropolitan areas. These legal and regulatory barriers limit the ability of local governments to use productively the assets they control and to encourage economic growth through innovative planning measures based on market relations. The main goal of this study is an objective analysis of the functions/malfunctions that appear in the rural/urban and urban/rural relations in the metropolitan area of Iaşi concerning it’s regional influence.
