Rural Regeneration
Despite popular representations that portray rural areas as ‘timeless’ and ‘unchanging’, rural places around the world are varied, dynamic, and complex. Rural areas everywhere are integral, productive, and ever‐changing parts of the modern world that face complex demographic, environmental, social, and economic challenges that are not dissimilar to those encountered by their urban and suburban counterparts. The architectural heritage in rural areas is often also more diverse than imagined. Agricultural buildings tend to be widespread, but are frequently complemented by other, more unexpected forms of architecture, including housing estates, industrial plants, military bases, and tourist resorts. Although architectural regeneration projects that reuse and repurpose existing rural architectural heritage with the specific aim of revitalising local communities, economies, and places are rare, those projects that do exist show that a lack of people and economic possibilities, resulting from rapidly changing social, economic, and environmental contexts, are complicating factors in rural contexts.
