Abstract: Abstract Agrarian urbanismAgrarian urbanisation is intuitively comprised of economic and demographic dynamism around marketing as well as processing of agricultural products farmed in the vicinity. This caters to a stable yet dynamic intertwined rural–urban relationship. Agrarian urbanism here refers to a multi-activity, multi-product economy originating in the family farms of the region. Such towns of course will also be driven by the economic drivers of the twenty-first century, though their agrarian character continues to be discernible. Food grains, local fruits, plantation crops or farm animals could trigger slow and steady urbanism in the neighbourhood, depending on the scale of farming, transactions and turnover.
