Interpretación del hecho metropolitano en Zaragoza

Abstract

In the context of the new territorial dynarnics, which have defined the urban phenomenon in the last decades, the city of Zaragoza is suffering an spontanous growing process outwards to the outskirts, occupying its surrounding area. This fact is detennining an urban reality with a new dimension as it has overflowed the municipal borders; a reality whose characteristics allow us to talk about the metropolitan phenomenon in our city. Beginning from this idea, a delimitation proposal has been carried out in an attempt to define the supposed "Zaragoza's metropolitan area", non comparable however to the other Spanish ones.
