Handbook on Rural-Urban Linkages in the Global South

The 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.
