Currently more than half of the population worldwide lives in cities. However, this means that there is still about half of the population worldwide living in rural areas, and in some regions this is the majority of the population. Urban-rural links are increasingly growing and include the mobility of people, goods and services as well as waste. Despite the relevance of this linkage, rural connectivity is an ongoing challenge around the world. Since most economic and social opportunities are located in urban areas or towns, rural communities can be quite disconnected from infrastructure and transport options – thus lacking access to the opportunities that urban areas offer.
