Sinopsis

This Handbook offers a comprehensive review of how, in rapidly urbanizing low- and middle-income countries, the links between rural and urban areas, people and enterprises are becoming increasingly intense and complex. With a focus on how rural-urban linkages are being shaped by the intersection of the local and the global, this Handbook illustrates how and where locally specific geographic, socio-economic and political contexts interact with global dynamics.



Focussing on how planning for socially and environmentally just urban transitions requires a better understanding of changing rural livelihoods, the Handbook explores: what drives migration and mobility; how emerging small towns and peri-urban areas develop, and how demand for food and natural resources evolves with urbanization. With chapters written by a diverse array of researchers, as well as practitioners in the field, this Handbook offers a wide range of perspectives on the topic.



The Handbook on Rural-Urban Linkages in the Global South will be of particular interest to academics specializing in human geography, development economics, development studies and sociology. Development practitioners will also benefit from a better understanding of how different contexts shape diverse trajectories.
