This blog has evolved from a book of the same name. Rurality is interpreted in many ways depending on individual encounters with rural space and this leads to different ways of conceiving the social and economic challenges that rural communities face. The blog represents the personal views of Professor Gary Bosworth, who is a Visiting Professor of Rural Entrepreneurship in Lincoln International Business School and Professor of Entrepreneurship at Northumbria University.
//Following a presentation to the CPRE‘s event on Lincolnshire’s rural economy on 1st March 2016, it was evident that there was some discontent with the way that “sustainable development” is being applied in local planning matter. Instead, this note offers some thoughts about the prospect for applying “liveability” as an alternative viewpoint.
I also attach the slides that I presented
at the event here:
