The article explores the relationship between urban sprawl and the urban   system. Urban sprawl is not considered to be a static, unsustainable urban   form, but rather a dynamic process of urban deconcentration through which the   urban structure evolves. After identifying the main characteristics of urban   sprawl, this article investigates the connection between urban sprawl and the   urban system through the concept of polycentricity. Finally, the two-way   relationship between urban sprawl and the urban system is highlighted. Based   on the above, an integrated theoretical, conceptual and methodological   framework is formulated. A key finding was the emergence of ‘small-scale’   polycentricity, which implies increasing monocentricity over a wider spatial   area. This raises questions over the distinction between the negative   phenomenon of urban sprawl and sustainable polycentric forms, and points out   a need to review the explanatory devices and theories used in spatial   analysis and planning. Empirical evidence was extracted from Thessaloniki’s   Influence Area
