Abstract

Connectivity is the ability and capacity for people and communities to be connected, either physically or non-physically, through transport or communication. To promote rural-urban connectivity, there is a need to provide good, affordable, accessible, and efficient transport infrastructure in not only the developed areas (urban) but also the remote areas (rural) where people are experiencing difficulty in accessing good transport services. Hence this chapter examined the impact of rural-urban connectivity as a way of achieving sustainable rural transport development. To achieve this, there is a need to examine connectivity from the standpoint of accessibility, especially in rural areas, which are usually disconnected from the surrounding urban areas due to poor road conditions. In view of the above, this chapter explored rural-urban connectivity as a measure of improving the mobility of rural dwellers, thus enabling their well-being.
