The development of intercommunality and the decentralization of development to peripheral municipalities has led to a significant urban expansion producing somewhat undefined interfaces between the city and the “non-city”. The boundaries of the agglomeration and the city are, in general, constantly changing spaces. These are places where rapid changes and evolutions in urban construction are taking place. The feeling of the destruction of the living environment often emerges due to the rapid transformation of the latter, which destabilizes the reference points of the inhabitants. These spaces are also the places of an exhibition of nature, where it gives itself to be seen by its edges and horizons.
