Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Borderland synergies have reached unprecedented levels in the last few years due to their potential for regional integration and role in supranational processes, i.e., infrastructure construction and planning activities on European territories (among other). Although cross-border cooperation experiences have grown in Europe and worldwide, generating a global network of relationships is aimed at creating mutually beneficial scenarios. Thereby, research on this typology of cooperation is essential for planning for the future of our territories, businesses, and societies. Contextually, examining how the land use has changed in those regions is pivotal to our understanding of this issue.
This Special Issue seeks to present a collection of papers that explore the contribution of land use changes and covers in borderlands and similar territories, such as the so-called ultra-peripheral territories.
