The concept of an Urban ‐ Rural Continuum It is important to understand that integrated and holistic development is not only about the integration and alignment of sectors, but is only possible if we integrate and align within a spatial context where the space between urban and rural is not seen as a divide but as a continuum between two ends of the same space. URBAN Peri or Semi ‐ Urban RURAL

Closing Remark, an extract from the NDP Achieving the NDP Rural Development vision will require leadership on land reform, communal tenure security, infrastructure and financial and technical support to farmers, and capacity building to enable state institutions and private industries to implement these interventions. 19
