Introduction

Rural-urban linkages can be defined as the structural social, economic, cultural, and
political relationships maintained between individuals and groups in the urban
environment and those in rural areas. Rural-urban linkages can be defined as the
structural social, economic, cultural, and political relationships maintained between
individuals and groups in the urban environment and those in rural areas. Rural-urban
linkages can also refer to spatial and sectoral flows that occur between rural and urban
areas. Spatial flows include flows of people, goods, money, technology, knowledge,
information, and waste. By contrast, sectoral flows include flows of agricultural
products going to urban areas, and goods from urban manufacturing areas going to
more rural areas. Rural-urban interactions include linkages across space such as
flows of people, goods, money, information and wastes), and. Linkages between
sectors (for example, between agriculture and services and manufacturing.

Typically, rural-urban linkages are often articulated in the nature and forms of
migration, production, consumption, financial and some investment linkages that occur
within the rural-urban symbiosis. The exchange of money, goods, visits including
social activities, and communication with relatives and friends can all be used as
indicators of rural-urban linkages. Therefore, the nature and form of these linkages are
not homogenous as they are determined by both push and pull factors. The influence
of push and pull factors can differ from one place to another and for different sectors.
In most developing countries, especially low-income ones, urban areas symbolize a
number of good things. They offer better jobs, respite from toiling on a farm without a
decent income, safe drinking water, shorter distances to medical doctors and
healthcare facilities. These factors do not only represent rural-urban dynamics but can
also be an important source of rural poverty reduction. Rural-urban interaction can be
evaluated in terms of both its explosive and beneficial nature.
