Abstract
In light of the ongoing international debate on governance, and given the complex challenges of governing the expansion and urban development that transforms the metropolitan interstices and their agricultural and natural landscapes, this paper explores the adaptive governance approaches and some of the challenges for applying them to these types of political and spatial landscapes to achieve the transition towards strengthening urban resilience. The main features of the institutional systems and the integration of local actors and communities in the resilient processes are outlined. From a portrait of the literature review, conceptual criteria are discussed to carry out future research on the topic of adaptive governance for peri-urban socioecological systems resilience.
