Caring for Place : Community Development in Rural England
This book draws on preeminent planning theorist Patsy Healey’s personal experiences as a resident of a small rural town in England, to explore what place and community mean in a particular context, and how different initiatives struggle to get a stake in the wider governance relations while maintaining their own focus and ways of working.Throughout the book, Healey assesses the public value generated by community initiatives and the impact of such activity on wider governance dynamics. Healey explores the power which small communities are able to mobilise through self-organisation and grassroots activism.Through the lens of Wooler and Glendale as a micro-society, the book centres on a community experiencing an economic and demographic transition.It focuses on three initiatives developed and led by local people – a small community development trust, an informal attentionmobilising network, and a Neighbourhood Plan project which uses an opportunity provided within the formal planning system.It examines how, in such civil society activism, people came together to promote local development in a place and community neglected by the dominant political economy. The book details the power and force of community initiative and its potential for transforming both the future possibilities for the place and community itself, as well as wider governance relations.Overall, it seeks to enrich academic and policy discussion about how the relations between formal government and civil society energy could evolve in more productive and progressive directions.

Higher Education, Place, and Career Development : Learning from Rural and Island Students
Drawing connections between the findings of a research project following young graduates from the Scottish islands of Orkney and Shetland, current international evidence, and theoretical literature, this book argues that understanding rural and island student transitions can expose the wider dynamics of place and mobility at play during student and early career experiences. Highlighting the importance of a career perspective, Rosie Alexander encourages readers to consider how career pathways develop across time and across transition points, unsettling the notion of a straightforward transition through university into the workplace.The book uncovers how student trajectories are developed through interweaving dynamics of relationships, place, and career routes and unpacks the implications for policymakers and practitioners.It contends that a much greater spatial awareness is necessary to understand and support the educational and career pathways of higher education students. This is a crucial read for higher education researchers, policymakers, and students interested in rurality as well as access to and transition from higher education.

What are the effects of rural depopulation on rural regions and cities?
Rural depopulation can have significant effects on both rural regions and cities. In rural areas, depopulation can lead to a decline in local businesses, services, and infrastructure, as well as a loss of community cohesion and cultural heritage. This can result in economic stagnation and a decrease in quality of life for those who remain. In cities, rural depopulation can lead to an influx of migrants seeking better opportunities, putting pressure on housing, transportation, and social services. Additionally, cities may experience increased demand for food and resources from the surrounding rural areas, leading to potential strain on supply chains.

What are the effects of rural exodus on rural regions and cities?
Rural exodus, or the migration of people from rural areas to urban areas, can have significant effects on both rural regions and cities. In rural regions, the exodus can lead to a decline in population, loss of skilled workers, and a decrease in economic activity. This can result in a shrinking tax base, reduced services, and a lack of investment in infrastructure. In cities, the influx of migrants can put pressure on housing, transportation, and social services, leading to overcrowding and increased competition for resources. Overall, rural exodus can exacerbate inequalities between urban and rural areas and impact the overall development and sustainability of both regions.

African Perspectives on Reshaping Rural Development
Development studies in developing regions such as Southern Africa rely heavily on materials developed by Europeans with a European context.European dominance in development studies emanates from the fact that the discipline was first developed by Europeans.Some argue that this has led to distortions in theory and practice of development in Southern Africa.This book wishes to begin Africa's expedition to develop proper material to de-Westernize while Africanizing the context of the scholarship of rural development. African Perspectives on Reshaping Rural Development is an essential reference source that repositions the context of rural development studies from the Western-centric knowledge system into an African context in order to solve African-centered problems.Featuring research on topics such as food security, poverty reduction, and community engagement, this book is ideally designed for planners, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, government officials, academicians, and students seeking clarity on theory and practice of development in Africa.
