dc.descriptionWhen thinking about rural–urban linkages, it should be noted that rural and urban areas are not separate domains but rather fall on a “rural–urban spectrum”, ranging from megacities and large regional centres to market towns and the rural hinterland. In all developing regions except for Latin America and the Caribbean, more people live in or around cities and towns of 500 000 inhabitants or fewer than in or around larger cities. Yet, resources are disproportionately allocated to larger cities. C ombining sectoral and territorial development approaches is essential for the effective strengthening of rural–urban linkages. Interconnected, functional rural–urban territories are key to creating on- and off-farm jobs, eradicating poverty, ensuring food and nutrition security, providing alternatives to rural out-migration, and achieving sustainable management of natural resources.
