One reason for investigating the relationship between urbanisation and structural change in agriculture is its pertinence to the increasing emphasis on space in metropolitan planning.1 Urbanisation, with the increased demands it makes for land, labour and agricultural produce, can effect significant changes in agricultural structure. For instance, in metropolitan areas the attraction of agricultural labour and farmers into non-agricultural employment can open the way for farm amalgamation and mechanisation2 and consequently to an improved farm structure; but under certain circumstances, the effects of urban development can lead to excessive rural fragmentation, rising land prices and rising land taxes which may block further farm amalgamation and general progress in agriculture. The process of urbanisation, then, can give rise to quite different types of transformation of the agricultural structure. Since agriculture is a major use of rural space, it is essential that these different urban-induced transformations of agricultural structures be understood in order to develop rational planning strategies for rural areas
