The Concept Of Urban-Rural Interdependence

Rural-urban interdependence relates to the joint or interactive relationship between urban and rural areas. The mutually beneficial correlativeness of urban and rural areas. Traditionally, rural and urban issues and planning have been typically seen as and dealt with separately. However, in recent years as urbanization and inequality increase, more sophisticated analyses of the linkages and interdependencies between rural and urban areas have emerged. The flows of people, goods, services, information and money typically provide strong and dynamic linkages between rural and urban areas. In many places these interdependencies have deepened since the market liberalization of the 1980s due to increased price risk, rising input prices relative to output prices, detrimental HIV/AIDS effects on labor and other asset availability, environmental deterioration and continuing farm sub-division at inheritance (Low, et al., 1999).
Urban-rural interdependence includes spatial links to the movement of people, goods, money, and information between urban and rural areas including roads and railways, and sectorial links (interdependence between agriculture, industry and services). Rural-urban interdependence is important for poverty alleviation and sustainable rural development and urbanization. Strong linkages can improve the living conditions and employment opportunities of both rural and urban populations. Domestic trade and the adequacy and efficiency of infrastructure are the backbone of mutually beneficial rural-urban relationships and of the success of the relationship between urban and rural areas (Bekker, 2000).
Issues such as changes in land use around urban centers, from farmland to residential or industrial use; greater diversification of income sources in rural and urban areas, often involving people migrating or commuting between the countryside and urban centers; and changes in the direction and composition of internal migration are likely to emerge in the near future. The relationships or inter-linkages between urban and rural areas are not all positive or beneficial to both ends of the spectrum. Cities and their metropolitan extensions absorb productive agricultural land, exploit water resources, pollute the rural environment and act as sinks for urban waste. On the other hand, cities rarely expand and build up efficiently. There often remains extensive rural areas within cities and their metropolitan boundaries, giving rise to the phenomenon of urban villages with urban farming occupation and prevalence
