What kind of interactions are you looking for? Biological? Movements of people? Economic interactions?

Economic, Social interactions and movement of people. All the interactions between city and rural areas.

Dear Soroosh,

I am currently working on some aspects of rural transformation/urbanisation. One of these is that how do cities grow and develop beyond their boundaries through formal, informal and semi-formal methods. I have a short paper on this. Pls. have a look at the following paper paper:

http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09614524.2015.986066

I have another paper which looks at housing as a medium of urbanization. That is currently under review and will be happy to share that later.

I am also interested in structural aspects of rural transformation. I am currently coordinating Centre for Rural-Urban Dynamics (https://www.irma.ac.in/article.php?menuid=407) at my  institute . This link will give you some ideas about our interests and inclination.

On structural aspects of transformation (rural-urban) I recommend two following articles

and

Hope it helps!
