Esiste una nozione giuridica di periferia?

Abstract

The present paper aims to investigate the existence of a legal concept of periphery. In the legal system the term periphery is mainly used in the sense of degraded or disadvantaged area in comparison with the central area. The central area is increasingly considered as an abstract set of legal standards no longer necessarily linked to a territorial area, involving many legal values, from traditional urban issues to protection of environment, social exclusion or public order, and legitimizing the intervention of public authorities. Periphery is confronted today with new models for sustainable development, as is the case of smart cities.
