Abstract
The article evaluates how rural-urban balance is necessary to access environmental development in developing countries including Iran. The continuing process of modernization is widely responsible for the change and the appearance of imbalance with special reference to Iran. The scenario is also observed in China, India and many other emerging countries. In the balance is maintained, agricultural and raw materials could be produced to feed industrial continuity in urban areas. Moreover, when imbalance emerges, the environmental destruction appears in cities, and the rural productivity disrupts on the other hand. The paper concludes that rural- urban balance optimistically reads to socio-economic development, sustainable growth and integration. In case of imbalance, surging urbanization would lead to declining of farmland areas. Similarly, the paper explores challenges, merits, demerits and the escalation of the current transformation. However, it is worth notifying that the unbridled change needs to be under scrutiny.
