Abstract

The transformation of the peripheral spaces of cities
around the globe is a contemporary concern of geographic
studies and other related disciplines. However,
there is not only a theorization to account for the phenomenon
occurring in the "periphery". Thus, we propose
a bibliometric and theoretical study that establishes
which are the main theories that are being worked on
the urbanization of peripheral spaces in geography. To
achieve this objective, the Scopus and WoS databases
were used, with which an exploration was carried out
from Biblioshiny and later Atlas Ti. In general terms,
there are large fields from which theoretical reflection
on the problems studied can be situated, with a strong
emerging component that comes from the experience
of countries in the global south that make the concepts
used in other areas such as Europe more complex.
