The second in the "Restructuring Rural Areas" series, this work
presents an examination of the way in which the rural, and the
concept of rurality is being reconstructed within urban regions.;
It argues that the rural is not a fixed category but the outcome of
political, economic and socio- cultural pressures. These pressures
are exacerbated in southeast England - an area dominated by London
and the patterns of growth associated with that city. Through close
analysis of key land development processes and a series of village
studies, the authors give a forceful demonstration of the way in
which certain social groups are becoming increasingly influential
in determining the material and social shape of rural areas in the
United Kingdom. The formation of class identity, it is argued, is
closely bound up with the formation of certain local spaces; class
and space must be considered as combined elements in the
development of rural locales. To illustrate this the authors
document in detail the means by which dominant groups represent
themselves within the development process and show how the
exclusion of certain kinds of development leads to the exclusion of
certain social groups.
