Definición

  • Rurality—the condition of not being urban—has been affected by global forces throughout history, and in the 21st century, the concept of the rural is transported globally even as rural areas themselves are increasingly a part of the global economy. Rurality is the term that designates territories that lie outside towns and cities and that describes the landscapes, cultures, social and economic formations, and ways of life that are commonly associated with these areas.
