Abstract

The authors see the recent changes undergone in south-eastern Greater Valencia as confirming the trend in well established territories to shift importance from the original urban nucleus (Valencia) out to the outskirts. Such changes, however, are seen as giving rise to marked alterations in the municipal dynamic of said outskirts which, in turn, lead to tensions within the greater or metropolitan area that cannot easily be resolved. This conflict is here seen to be most acute as between such municipalities depending upon long established though thus more fragile economic supports and those which, while still somewhat rural, can, thanks to their greater pleasantness, attract both new housing and service industries and thus, in the wake of these advantages, claim a greater voice in metropolitan affairs.
