The Routledge Companion to Rural Planning provides a critical
account and state of the art review of rural planning in the early
years of the twenty-first century. Looking across different
international experiences - from Europe, North America and
Australasia to the transition and emerging economies, including
BRIC and former communist states - it aims to develop new
conceptual propositions and theoretical insights, supported by
detailed case studies and reviews of available data. The Companion
gives coverage to emerging topics in the field and seeks to
position rural planning in the broader context of global
challenges: climate change, the loss of biodiversity, food and
energy security, and low carbon futures. It also looks at old,
established questions in new ways: at social and spatial justice,
place shaping, economic development, and environmental and
landscape management. Planning in the twenty-first century must
grapple not only with the challenges presented by cities and urban
concentration, but also grasp the opportunities - and understand
the risks - arising from rural change and restructuring. Rural
areas are diverse and dynamic. This Companion attempts to capture
and analyse at least some of this diversity, fostering a dialogue
on likely and possible rural futures between a global community of
rural planning researchers. Primarily intended for scholars and
graduate students across a range of disciplines, such as planning,
rural geography, rural sociology, agricultural studies, development
studies, environmental studies and countryside management, this
book will prove to be an invaluable and up-to-date resource.
