From the perspective of a combination of history and geography, this book puts forward a new theory which is mainly based on Adam Smith's theory and other theories about rural-urban relationship and reinterprets the process and driving forces of evolutionary history of rural-urban relationship over 5,000 years in China. It is useful for researchers and scholars specialized in such fields as rural and urban studies, economics, geography, management and planning for reference.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-1201-5}, recid = {1437093}, pages = {1 online resource (232 pages) :}, }
