Urban rural fringe

Urban rural fringe is the transition zone between urban and rural areas. It has a mixture of both city and rural landscapes. For example, it might be an area that has open fields, farms, and small towns, but is within driving distance of a big city. People who live in an urban rural fringe might have the benefit of living close to the city but also enjoy the quiet of a rural lifestyle.
