The growth of urban areas has traditionally been associated with socio-economic development. An increasingly progressive agriculture has also historically accompanied the growth of cities. The link between urban growth and a more productive agricultural sector was necessary for the transfer of food, labour and capital to the growing cities, which in turn, supplied agriculture with industrially based inputs and a growing market for agricultural products.
