Relations and Interactions between Urban and Rural Spaces

This work promotes critical reflection on the constitution, structure and dynamics of relations, interrelations, interactions and socio-spatial and economic contradictions existing between urban and rural spaces, in different geographical spaces, on a regional scale, and present in the process of regional development. The central issue is the city-countryside and urban-rural themes in the regional development process. Productive restructuring and the new (inter) relations and contradictions between urban and rural: relations, contradictions and interdependencies. Relations between city and countryside, and between cities, and processes of cooperation, cohesion and territorial competition: rural and urban development. State and public policies in the articulation between rural and urban.
