AB  - Carried out within the framework of the multidisciplinary research project PERIURBAN (Peri-urban areas faced with the challenges of sustainability: developing scenarios for Lisbon Metropolitan Area) this article aims to propose, discuss and implement criteria for assessing the sustainability of peri-metropolitan territories at the social and economic level, starting from its application to the specific case of 5 parishes in Lisbon Metropolitan area.
The peri-urban territories have gained a renewed interest in contemporaneity, in the face of the challenges of sustainability. However, the exploitation of its potential requires an approach that goes beyond the classic urban perspectives of a space to be consolidated and (re)developed. To that extent, a more comprehensive perspective is required, focused on their specific needs and their particular aptitude to contribute to an increase of the life quality of the population. Recognizing that the opportunity of these territories lies in the ability to integrate multiple sectoral policies and visions in the territorial planning process, the PERIURBAN project intended to develop scenarios with a view to identifying the main constraints and potentialities of the peri-urban areas, with the active cooperation of the stakeholders involved in its change.

After a brief introductory section, in which a general framework of the problematics and the objectives of the work is made, the second section presents a contextual overview about the Periurban project and a explanation of its objectives and methodologies, including a brief reference to the first phase of construction of typologies of peri-urban areas on Lisbon Metropolitan Area, leading to the choice of the representative parishes. Then, in section 3 the proposed framework for the assessment of sustainability in these territories is presented. The several dimensions of analysis considered in the social field ((i) Equity and access; (ii) Social cohesion; (iii) Social diversity; (iv) Identity and sense of place; (v) Wealth and quality of life) and in the economic field ((i) Capability of economic polarization/attractiveness; (ii) consistency of the productive structure and specialization base; (iii); Living standards, consumption and wellbeing; (iv) Degree of trust, uncertainty and expectations) are presented in detail, as well as the respective indicators and sub-dimensions which were used. Some practical issues regarding its implementation with regard to the sources of information used/available are taken in consideration and briefly highlighted. In section 4 the results of the practical application of this analytical grid to the parishes of Lisbon Metropolitan Area are discussed, through the presentation and analysis of the data obtained. Finally, in section 5, in a brief concluding not, the potential and limitations of this exercise are discussed, including some of the precautions to have with the use of the analytical framework which is suggested in this article.
