Abstract: With accelerated urbanization in China, urban-rural interfaces (URIs) of varied characteristics emerge across the nation. As the frontline and a crucial link between urban and rural areas, URIs have provided an alternate position for urbanization and economic expansion. Among all the economic forms there, informal economy brings both opportunities and threats. From historical geography, this paper explored the historical development of informal economy in URIs, and reviewed previous works on the economy of URIs. Based on historical data, the features and problems of informal economy in URIs are analyzed to provide a basis for healthy development of informal economy in URIs as well as design and practice of relevant policies.
