This paper illustrates the fragmentation patterns in the suburban area of Rome, by comparing two different points of view: the first related to the urban quality and inhabitants’ social conditions, the second related to the survival of agricultural practices and natural habitats. The in-depth study of the fragmentation process and its patterns, as caused by the urban growth of the last twenty years, is combined with a detailed analysis of the demographic trends and characteristics, and of the socio-economic indicators, so as to describe levels of pressure and inequities in spatial terms. A further focus is also given to recent development plans and town-planning policies implemented by the municipal administration, as well as to its relationships with landowners and private developers.

Abstract
This paper illustrates the fragmentation patterns in the suburban area of Rome, by comparing two different points of view: the first related to the urban quality and inhabitants’ social conditions, the second related to the survival of agricultural practices and natural habitats. The in-depth study of the fragmentation process and its patterns, as caused by the urban growth of the last twenty years, is combined with a detailed analysis of the demographic trends and characteristics, and of the socio-economic indicators, so as to describe levels of pressure and inequities in spatial terms. A further focus is also given to recent development plans and town-planning policies implemented by the municipal administration, as well as to its relationships with landowners and private developers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
