美国的城乡差距似乎从未如此之大，这一点在2016年总统大选中支持唐纳德特朗普的巨大地理差异中得到了加强。但是，大城市和农村社区比以往任何时候都更加紧密地结合在一起，在经济和社会方面日益相互依存。这一新的城乡界面在这一系列文章中得到了强调，这些文章是围绕着改变象征性和社会边界的一般概念组织和发展的。城乡边界如何界定和评价农村和城市的人和地方反映和加强制度力量，维持空间不平等和现有的社会，经济和政治等级。这本书明确指出，城乡边界是高度流动的，这应该更好地反映在研究计划中，在我们选择研究的主题中，以及公共政策的实施方式中。
America's rural-urban divide seemingly has never been greater, a point reinforced by large geographic disparities in support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. But it is also the case that big cities and rural communities are more tightly integrated than ever and are increasingly interdependent, both economically and socially. This new rural-urban interface is highlighted in this collection of articles, which are organized and developed around the general concept of changing symbolic and social boundaries. Ruralurban boundaries-how rural and urban people and places are defined and evaluated-reflect and reinforce institutional forces that maintain spatial inequality and existing social, economic, and political hierarchies. This volume makes clear that rural-urban boundaries are highly fluid and that this should be better reflected in research programs, in the topics that we choose to study, and in the way that public policy is implemented.
