Yet, this consensus is in sharp contrast with the scientific landscape where a strong urban-rural dichotomy prevails. While urban studies predominantly deal with cities and metropolises, rural geography and sociology tend to focus on villages in their settlement studies. Therefore, while the poles of the settlement structure have been fairly well explored, smaller towns are neglected structurally by both disciplines In comparison with the bulk of knowledge about cities and ruralities, respectively, there is fairly little systematic research about urban life in small(er) towns.. In handbooks of urban studies, for example, urbanity beyond metropolises is not a topic to which specific attention is paid.
