‘With this new Handbook, the editors highlight a dimension that often remains hidden: the interface between rural and urban areas as a place of exchange and socio-economic interaction, crucial for livelihoods and local development. This book helps students and scholars to break silos and see the full picture: how rural and urban realities are sides of the same coin – rural–urban interfaces providing people with opportunities to benefit from both worlds.’
