Urban and rural areas enjoy different and often complementary assets, and better integration between them is important for socio-economic performance. This report provides a framework to understand the changing relationships between urban and rural areas. It is focused on one approach that can enhance and better manage rural-urban relationships – the use of rural-urban partnerships. Specifically, it documents the characteristics of these partnerships and the factors that can hinder as well as enable rural-urban co-operation. Different governance approaches to manage rural-urban relationships are identified and discussed. Finally, recommendations are provided to help national, regional and local policy makers to build effective and sustainable rural-urban partnerships for better economic development.

Dans les sociétés d’Ancien Régime, la pierre et la terre furent longtemps la principale source de richesses et un élément constitutif des patrimoines. Dès lors, les propriétés immobilières et foncières deviennent un puissant vecteur de rencontres et d’échanges entre les différentes catégories sociales, citadines et rurales. Dans les villes où la majorité de la population vit en location, la maison n’a pas attiré de grands rassembleurs de pierre. Sur le marché immobilier, les bourgeois et les artisans sont les plus actifs, mais toutes les catégories sociales sont en concurrence pour des habitations de valeur médiocre ou faible. En considérant la ville dans son environnement rural, l’influence citadine est claire. Autour de Lille ou de Cambrai, les propriétés citadines modèlent le visage des campagnes. Pourtant, les citadins, principalement issus de la bourgeoisie, s’engagent timidement dans le jeu foncier. Encore la participation citadine est-elle scandée par des convulsions chronologiques qui achèvent de relativiser l’idée de la « conquête bourgeoise du sol ». Sur le marché foncier, les gens de campagne réalisent donc l’essentiel de l’activité. Opérant entre eux, les ruraux multiplient les interventions de petite valeur sur un espace relationnel étroit. Pourtant, tous ne sont pas en action : l’instabilité des patrimoines des journaliers renforce surtout la position des laboureurs et des fermiers. À travers l’analyse des marchés fonciers et immobiliers, cet ouvrage s’attache donc à comprendre les stratégies et les dynamiques des différentes catégories sociales de la Ville et de la Campagne.

This book is a socio-spatial history of the Middle East, and uses that case to reflect more broadly on the making of the modern world. Pivoting around Bilād al-Shām (Greater Syria) - alternatingly zooming in on cities and nation-states and zooming out to neighboring countries, imperial and transnational links, and overseas diasporas - it asks: Why, how, and in which stages did well-rooted cities and regions mold a dynamic modern world economy and powerful modern states, and how were they remolded in return ? Covering culture, the economy, and administration from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century in five chapters, each prefaced by one person's illustrative story, the book identifies three key developments in the late Ottoman period. Cities were transformed but remained powerful; interurban ties grew stronger; and Bilād al-Shām became more integrated. These developments did not end in 1918 but, as is shown next, deeply shaped post-Ottoman times. While quartered, Bilād al-Shām became an umbrella region for Palestine, Transjordan, Syria and Lebanon, and forced French and British rulers to coordinate policies. And while cities lionized their weight in transnational circuits as well as reimagined themselves as national places to assert their rank in new nation-states, the latter were from the start multi-urban and transnationalized spaces. Building on the Middle Eastern case, the book argues that the modern world cannot be truly grasped by studying globalization or state formation or urbanization, as many histories do. Rather, the modern world's most fundamental socio-spatial feature is what can be called transpatialization: the intertwinement of cities, regions, states, and global circuits in faster changing and more mutually transformative ways than before in history.--
