Abstract
This paper emphasizes the possibility and cost-effectiveness of stemming the tide of migration to larger cities and increased urbanization of rural life by improving income-earning opportunities in rural areas and making them again more attractive in terms of economy and infrastructure. Local resources are the main determinant in bringing this about. Emphasis on increased agricultural productivity, establishment of agro-based industries and the pursuance of policies establishing a rural–urban partnership development is encouraged. Such a partnership would benefit both rural and urban populations and can prevent the nightmarish forecast of a doubling of urbanization in Africa and Asia by the year 2025.
