When summer arrives, tourists replace the city's usual residents, who instead flock to the countryside. But more and more people are moving to or closer to big cities, and they no longer work the land. At the same time, we are still as dependent on what the countryside has to offer in terms of food. What role will our rural designs and the cultivation of organic food play in the future? New Ruralism and Rural Agrarian Urbanism may provide solutions to these challenges. This book, with contributions from leading experts in the field, addresses issues such as sustainable food production and community planning. AUTHORS: Peter Elmlund has a Bachelor of Science in economics and specialises in urban development. Tigran Haas is an associate professor focusing on urban planning and design, and sustainable city development at the School of Architecture and the Built Environment, at KTH.
