Urban expansion is currently a major trend in most European countries and is accompanyied by the outward spread of the urban area, a process referred to in France as périurbanisation. This phenomenon questions the dynamics of these periurban territories and especially their autonomy with respect to neighbouring urban centres. We suggest that these periurban areas, through their diversity, can become independent in the face of a strong movement of unban expansion. This autonomy is expressed through development projects conceived and put in to practice locally. The environmental factor is crucial in these projects and reflects a consensual desire to enhance the quality of life. There is also a local expectation to create networks of environmental technical services. Depending on the conception of the environment, co-operation between communes ca be initiated, leading to the emergence of political leader's from certain categories of politicians.
