Abstract :
[en] Migration, global economic restructuring and climate change are rapidly transforming rural places across the globe.This book scrutinizes the continuing and changing roles of rural people and places both within and beyond the urban shadow. Organized around the three core themes of landscape change, demographic change, and rural-urban partnerships and innovations, the case studies included in this volume represent both the Global North and Global South and underscore the complexity and multi-scalar nature of these contemporary challenges facing rural development, planning, and sustainability.
