Focusing on the strategic position of towns in rural development,
this book explores how they act as hotspots for knowledge creation,
diffusion for vital business life and innovation, and social
networks and community bonds. By doing so, towns - even the
smallest - can cope with processes of socio-economic decline and
promote a geographically balanced income distribution and
sustainable production structure. The contributors to this volume
examine how to take advantage of the great potential offered by
urban areas in the rural world to favour competitiveness and
encourage economic activity. Taking a European perspective, the
authors identify the main socio-economic advantages generated by
urbanized population settlements that small and medium-sized rural
towns can provide. Although much attention is currently focused on
the efficient use of scarce natural resources and land, they argue
that towns have an increasingly important economic and social role
to play in rural areas.
