Counter-urbanisation: History, Drivers, Policy and Future
Abstract:
What is counter-urbanisation and what is the history of this migration pattern? What are the drivers and effects of this movement to the countryside? How are these drivers and effects differentiated both at a local, regional and country level? And, what role can counter-urbanisation play in tackling population decline in rural and island communities? Drawing on the experience of the UK and Japan, this lecture seeks to tackle these questions in the context of a renewed academic and policy interest in rural in-migration. Further, examining more recent academic research on this topic, this lecture will ask, is this concept still useful for rural scholars and policy-makers alike?
