  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Urban-Rural Transformation Geography

Part of the book series: Sustainable Development Goals Series ((SDGS))

Abstract

Regarding urban–rural relationship, scholars have deeply studied the elements, relevance and transformation of urban and rural areas from the perspectives such as urban geography, rural geography and urban–rural development. These studies have highlighted the dynamic evolutionary process of the structures and patterns of urban–rural relationship, depicted the processes and patterns of urban–rural separation, urban–rural integration and urban–rural coordination, and put forward the viewpoint of comprehensive geography, that is, the coupling of urban–rural transformation patterns and processes. This chapter is mainly a literature review, interspersed with the process analysis, theoretical evaluation and practical aspects of rural development and urban–rural transformation. To further explore and innovate the geographical theory, method and technology of urban–rural transformation, this chapter also puts forward the problems, strategic needs and frontier fields of urban–rural transformation.
