Urbanisation and the expansion of US metropolitan regions have blurred the spatial and social boundaries that are typically thought to separate urban from rural America. Our objective is to highlight both the conceptual limitations of the so‐called rural–urban divide, while also recognising the spatial interdependence of America's ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ people and places. Our analyses nest rural and urban population and places within metropolitan and non‐metropolitan counties, while acknowledging that rural places often grow into urban places (i.e., urbanisation) and that many non‐metropolitan counties are reclassified over time as metropolitan areas (i.e., metropolitanisation). Analyses show that most rural people—as officially defined—now live in metropolitan counties, often at the fringe. Reclassification to metropolitan areas was a major reason why. Small towns and thinly settled areas at the metropolitan fringe have grown rapidly since 1980 and have become increasingly integrated within metropolitan areas nationally. The heuristic value of our analytical approach at the national level is further demonstrated at the local‐area level, in Chicago and Atlanta, metro areas with very different demographic and economic histories. Our study highlights the dynamic and multidimensional nature of spatial boundaries (i.e., urban–rural and metro–nonmetro) that both separate and connect rural and urban areas in the United States. Metro–nonmetro and rural–urban boundaries are neither fixed nor impermeable.

城乡联系:大都市边缘的乡村和小镇发展

城市化和美国大都市区的扩张模糊了人们通常认为将城市与农村分开的空间和社会界限。我们的目标是既强调所谓的城乡鸿沟的概念局限性,又要认识到美国“农村”和“城市”人与地方在空间上的相互依存关系。我们的分析嵌套了城乡人口以及大城市和非大城市县内的地点,同时也承认农村地区通常会成长为城市地区(即城市化),并且随着时间的推移,许多非大城市县会重新归类为大都市区(即大城市化) )。分析表明,按照正式定义,大多数农村人现在生活在大都市县,通常在郊区。重分类到大都市区是主要原因。自1980年以来,大都市边缘的小城镇和人口稀少的地区迅速发展,并在全国范围内日益融入大都市地区。我们在国家一级的分析方法的启发式价值在本地一级的芝加哥和亚特兰大(人口和经济历史大不相同的都会区)得到了进一步证明。我们的研究强调了分隔和连接美国城乡区域的空间边界(即城乡和地铁非地铁)的动态和多维性质。大都市-非都市边界和乡村-城市边界既不固定也不渗透。自1980年以来,大都市边缘的小城镇和人口稀少的地区迅速发展,并在全国范围内日益融入大都市地区。我们在国家一级的分析方法的启发式价值在本地一级的芝加哥和亚特兰大(人口和经济历史大不相同的都会区)得到了进一步证明。我们的研究强调了分隔和连接美国城乡区域的空间边界(即城乡和地铁非地铁)的动态和多维性质。大都市-非都市边界和乡村-城市边界既不固定也不渗透。自1980年以来,大都市边缘的小城镇和人口稀少的地区迅速发展,并在全国范围内日益融入大都市地区。我们在国家一级的分析方法的启发式价值在本地一级的芝加哥和亚特兰大(人口和经济历史大不相同的都会区)得到了进一步证明。我们的研究强调了分隔和连接美国城乡区域的空间边界(即城乡和地铁非地铁)的动态和多维性质。大都市-非都市边界和乡村-城市边界既不固定也不渗透。人口和经济历史迥异的都会区。我们的研究强调了分隔和连接美国城乡区域的空间边界(即城乡和地铁非地铁)的动态和多维性质。大都市-非都市边界和乡村-城市边界既不固定也不渗透。人口和经济历史迥异的都会区。我们的研究强调了分隔和连接美国城乡区域的空间边界(即城乡和地铁非地铁)的动态和多维性质。大都市-非都市边界和乡村-城市边界既不固定也不渗透。
