The U.K.: Rural Development, Issues and Analysis

Ian Hodge and Martin Whitby

European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1986, vol. 13, issue 3, 391-413

Abstract: This paper reviews the literature relating to rural development issues in Britain. The issues of depopulation and the decline of employment were dominant concerns in rural development up to the mid-1970s. Since then,the phenomena of counterurbanization and the urban-rural manufacturing shift, and their consequences for rural areas, have become major themes. Early studies relating to land use have been followed by applications to the issues of environmental change, settlement planning, and employment. The final section highlights some elements of the debate over policies for rural development and the institutional framework for their implementation. Copyright 1986 by Oxford University Press.
