This edited book brings together in one place new studies of
rural-urban interactions and their implications for regional growth
and development in different regions within Asia. Specifically, the
individual chapters in the book shed light on the different kinds
of rural-urban interactions that we witness in Asian regions,
particularly those that are based on migration, poverty,
inequality, education, economic dependence, and the flow of goods
and services. The book departs from the existing literature in
three ways. First, it explicitly recognizes that different kinds of
rural-urban interactions have dissimilar impacts on the lives and
hence on the welfare of the residents of rural and urban regions.
Second, the book emphasizes the varied spatial and temporal
dimensions of the interactions and the ways in which these
dimensions influence rural and urban societies. Third, this book
demonstrates the ways in which an understanding of the preceding
two points contributes to our knowledge about economic growth and
development. Because Asia is the fastest-growing and most dynamic
continent in the world today, the research delineated in the
individual chapters of the book provides practical guidance
concerning two salient questions. First, how do we effectively
address the economic development challenges stemming from the
interactions between alternate rural and urban regions within Asia?
Second, how do we ensure that the policies we design to address
these challenges give rise to broad-based economic growth and
development that is sustainable?
