摘要：Simulation of suburban development features based on scenarios in the eastern side of Iasi city Suburbanization, a complex process well-developed pre-eminently after the fall of communism, is characterized by a spontaneous, sometimes ambiguous, evolution comparatively to the urban planning specific to the former period. The phenomenon, typical to large cities, has known different stages that were enforced by local factors, creating, thus, an uncertain, chaotic and hard to control suburban fringe. This approach highlights the features of the named process; the first step is aimed to identify some urban models by analyzing those administrative units which are into a continuous motion, namely the communes Barnova, Miroslava and Valea Lupului. Based on the urban blueprints identified in the first part of the approach, will be imagined/built scenarios which will predict the rhythm of suburban expansion in two chosen communes located in the eastern side of Iasi city
