It's the most rudimentary form of supply and demand.
On the general side there is the rural farmers, who have to go to town to get their seed or sell their crops. The town depends on them for commerce and food to eat.
The town, county and state provide roadways to make all this possible, electricity and telephones to help make things work better and to increase commerce so the rural person can just call up and order their seeds to be delivered by trucks that come from cities and towns.
When brush fires occur, the towns and cities send fire fighters to help lessen the damage to the areas of potential commerce and people with burnt homes can shop at Target anymore, and burnt farms don't produce corn to eat in town, plus that fire might reach town!
The people in cities and towns go into the rural areas to fish, picnic, attend fairs and festivals, eat fruit off the tree, see a tree.
The rural people go to town to have a McDonald's hamburger, buy a new tractor, get their car fixed, go to a movie, shop at a mall.

People in cities have to eat. People in the country need manufactures. So the rural and urban economies are dependent upon each other for their respective products.
