Rural Revival?

How if possible to re-populate declining rural and regional areas? Examining this crucial and complex issue in relation to Australia this book explores how a particular organization 'Country Week' has emerged and developed as one means of stimulating the repopulation of declining or stagnating areas. While this is a problem shared by many other developed countries in Europe and North America Australia's 'Country Week' programme puts forward an innovative range of place-marketing strategies that challenge rural decline and urban migration and can offer new approaches which could be adopted more widely.
