Rural-Urban Fringe

The Rural-Urban Fringe is the transitional area between the countryside and city. It combines elements of both rural and urban living, featuring farms, residential neighborhoods, and retail spaces. This zone often experiences growth due to urban expansion, leading to changes in land use and population density. People may live in this area for a quieter lifestyle while still being close to city amenities. The fringe can face challenges like urban sprawl, traffic congestion, and pressure on local resources, as it evolves to accommodate the needs of both rural and urban residents.
