Contemporary urban sprawl and urban functional centrality at the regional scale have made the classical urban-rural dichotomy no longer valid. Instead, urban development generates a range of peri-urban transitional areas in which urban and rural uses are mixed in a fragmented land mosaic. The main objective of this paper is to detect opportunitites for the revitalisation of peri-urban agriculture based on an analysis and comparison of its evolution in two different regional contexts in Spain. The peri-urban space is delimited according to density, topography and perceptual criteria. Aerial images and cartographic bases are used to identify land quality and land use changes in the areas, concluding that peri-urban agriculture has suffered both urban occupation and internal changes in crops and agricultural uses, experiencing a process of decline. Innovative initiatives performed in these spaces are also explored as opportunities for revitalisation from a multifunctional approach, linking urban population to peri-urban agriculture, organic farming or landscape management. This analysis serves as a prerequisite to develop new policies for the planning of peri-urban agriculture at local and regional scales, based on a deep understanding of the territory and its evolution.

西班牙振兴郊区农业的挑战：马德里和奥维耶多都会区的地域分析

当代的城市扩张和区域范围内的城市功能中心使得经典的城乡二分法不再有效。取而代之的是，城市发展产生了一系列的郊区过渡地区，在这些地区中，城市和农村的用途混合在一个零散的土地上。本文的主要目的是通过分析和比较西班牙在两种不同区域环境下的发展演变，来寻找振兴城郊农业的机会。根据密度，地形和感知标准来划分城市周边空间。航空影像和制图基地被用来确定该地区的土地质量和土地用途的变化，从而得出结论，郊区农业遭受了城市占领以及作物和农业用途的内部变化，并经历了下降的过程。还探索了在这些空间中进行的创新举措，作为通过将城市人口与郊区农业，有机农业或景观管理联系起来的多功能方法的振兴机会。该分析是在对领土及其演变有深刻理解的基础上，为制定新政策以在地方和区域范围内规划城郊农业的前提条件。
