Abstract: Abstract Our research paper starts from the rural-urban partnership approach in the current context of multi-crises, which aims to collaborate between rural and urban communities to address common challenges and opportunities. This form of collaboration recognizes the interconnection between rural and urban environments and aims to create synergies for sustainable development, especially in mountain communities with their related specificities. Using research tools adapted to the topic, such as bibliometric analysis based on artificial intelligence tools, we will investigate the specialized scientific literature from international bases, selecting those elements of specificity for the rural-urban partnership. In a rural-urban partnership, communities from both environments can work together to develop innovative solutions to common problems, generating integrated projects, and creating the fundamental basis of access to resources, infrastructure, education, health, and economic development of mountain communities. For example, a collaboration between a city and its surrounding villages could address issues related to food supply, water resource management, or infrastructure connectivity. Moreover, in the context of the digital age and the green age, activities are rediscovered and reinvented, connected with current realities through integrated support projects for local communities. In conclusion, we will highlight that the rural-urban partnership will be beneficial to both parties, bringing diverse resources, knowledge, and experiences in a joint effort to improve the quality of life across the spectrum of the community. In addition, this partnership will promote a holistic approach to sustainable development, recognizing that problems and solutions do not stop at the geographical boundaries of a specific environment.
