This book highlights the challenges and opportunities of
(re)constructing a sustainable rural community on the outskirts of
the urban community. Based on knowledge and experience accumulated
through implementing a rural revitalisation project in Hong Kong
since 2013, the book provides an in-depth analysis of a case study
along with related concepts from the literature. In particular, the
concept of rural resilience is broken down and used to examine how
communities at the urban-rural interface can leverage their
position and connections to (re)create vibrant sustainable
communities. The revitalisation project was showcased in the
databases of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)'s
Equator Initiative and the International Partnership for the
Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) as well as achieving Special Recognition
for Sustainable Development in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for
Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2020. This book teases out the
key issues in the process of revitalising a rural community in the
peri-urban context and examines the complexities embedded in each
issue and how they can be addressed in the quest for rural
sustainability.
