Trading of agricultural products forms the relationship between urban and rural areas. Urbanization requires increasing supply of workforce for urban development. Less people are needed for agricultural industry. One method to push farmers into city is to increase the productivity of agricultural sector. This will compel farmers to go to cities because there are more jobs and opportunities in the cities. People moving to cities are more likely to lose their jobs and farmers can serve as labour supply for the cities.
I am trying here to capture the dynamics that are conventionally associated with urban development and get back once again, to this question of agriculture. Once you have cities, you also have the reverse of cities, you have countryside. You have rural areas and their relationship with urban areas, and the need to develop agricultural goods, which you trade with increasing industrial goods. Increasing agriculture productivity, reduces labor needs and opportunities in rural areas, pushing people towards the cities.
There is this notion that in order to have progress and development in cities, you need people. If everybody is busy growing crops, growing food that exists, you can’t also have people going into the city.
You need to increase productivity in the countryside. You have to have one farmer producing enough food for more than one family. Then you will have growth and productivity in the countryside, which will free people to move to the cities. In fact, in many ways, it will compel it. They will go to the cities and search for jobs and provide the labor force with the production of all kinds of things.

The relationship between urban and rural areas is driven by agricultural trading and urbanization, demanding more workforce for cities. Increasing agricultural productivity reduces labor needs in rural areas, pushing farmers to seek opportunities in urban centers. This dynamic ensures cities grow by enabling fewer farmers to produce sufficient food, thus supplying labor for urban industries, fostering city development.
