Policy planning and development
Rural development is the process of improving the quality of life and economic well-being of people living in rural areas, often relatively isolated and sparsely populated areas. Rural development has traditionally centered on the exploitation of land-intensive natural resources such as agriculture and forestry. Urban policy is a conceptual and systematic activity by a public authority (e.g. EU institutions, a government) aimed at the development of cities. The present book highlights the work to enhance well-being and living standards in all region types and improve their contribution to national performance and more inclusive and resilient societies through proper Policy, Planning and Development.
