"This book will give the readers a general and indispensable overview to introduce them into the urban sprawl and resilient landscapes as a key factor to understand urban mechanisms and processes. Since the urbanisation is a key factor that allows understanding of landscape evolution and human activities, this book will help the readers to acquaint themselves with: I the main urban dynamics, ii mechanisms and processes to carry out an efficient land management plans and restoration of key economic activities; and, iii how developing a research project. However, since the urban sprawl shows different responses under specific environments and human history, this book will provide the main tools to learn different problematics from numerous points of views.Finally, the readers can benefit from information about new methods, tools affecting human activities, which can be only obtained using geographic information system, numerical models, geostatistical tools, photogrammetrically methods, or indexes"--
This volume offers a comprehensive insight on sustainable development of local territories. It recommends the planning of local interventions through the integration of sustainable development with resilience of local systems.
In recent years, resilient districts have become territorial contexts for projects designed to respond to the needs of local communities, through the exploitation of landscape peculiarities to overcome the economic crisis. This volume offers a comprehensive insight on sustainable development of local territories. It recommends the planning of local interventions through the integration of sustainable development with resilience of local systems. The chapters originate from either individual or collective work independently conducted, but at the same time integrated by scholars from different academic backgrounds, among which environmental and agrarian sciences, social and economic disciplines, and urban planning and landscape design are included.

Matteo Clemente, PhD, is Researcher in Landscape Architecture at Tuscia University (Viterbo) and he holds courses in Landscape Planning. His research interests are focused on the themes of redevelopment of the contemporary city, with particular reference to the re-design of public space, from the scale of urban design to that of landscape design and temporary installations.
Jesśs Rodrigo-Comino, Assistant Professor in the Department of Regional and Physical Geography at the University of Granada (Spain). He completed his first PhD in Geography at the University of Mįlaga (Spain) and Trier (Germany) in 2018 and the second one in the engineering of Geomatics and Topography at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (2023). His current research interests include soil geography, regional geography and land degradation.
Francesco M. Chelli is Full-time Professor of Economic Statistics at the Department of Economics and Social Sciences of Polytechnic University of Marche (Ancona), and, at the moment, member of ISTAT Council. He holds courses of Economic and Methodological Statistics. His research interests range from topics as Input-Output models, welfare indicators, spatial statistics and demographic dynamics.
