During modernity metropolitan ruralities have been regarded as land
reserves for urban expansion. However, there is a growing insight
that there are limits to the urban expansion into rural areas.
Signs of a new position are the awakened interest in the nature,
the authentic and the simple way of living among an urban,
academically educated middle class, an actual instance of which is
the interest in local food but which also is manifested in rural
gentrification. However, a more hardcore turn to nature is also
discernible in the renewed interest for green lungs and for
eco-services more broadly. In the future, local post-fossil energy
may be a main concern regarding rural eco-services utilised by
urban areas. We can here imagine flows and exchanges that may
demand heavy societal regulation and thus be one of the main
objects of future democracy. However, despite these developments
urban (and rural) policy and planning is still tightly connected to
the modern expansion of the urban into the rural. There are signs
of new developments and paradigm shifts but these have to be
strengthened to lay the ground for rural-urban resilience.
