| Abstract | This article uses eight economic phenomena to explain the relationship between the rural-agricultural and the urban-industrial sectors that gives rise to unsustainable human settlements, widening disparities, and environmental complications, It discusses remedial policies corresponding to each of them and suggests that environmental concern has the potential to alter the age-old unfavorable relationship between the rural and urban economies. Realization of this potential can be promoted by formulation a policy to support: (a) the emerging urban preference for natural goods, natural living, and the natural environment; and (b) the continued need to infuse an urban-industrial content into the rural economy to improve the standard and quality of rural living. --Journal abstract | ||
