Abstract

Population growth and continued urbanization put pressure on natural resources, causing significant changes at the territorial level and raising the need for adequate urban and regional planning by local and national governments. To this end, humanity needs to broaden the reflection on the progress of developing nations in order to understand the spatial relationships of societies and how they can increase their knowledge of social, environmental and economic interdependence. In this sense, the purpose of this essay is to present a reflection on the sustainable development of countries through the strengthening of urban-rural interconnections. The approach implies the transition towards an inclusive paradigm that emerges from the understanding of the urban and the rural and their interdependent relationship to guarantee a greater degree of socioeconomic and environmental well-being in the medium and long term.
