Abstract

Rural housing concerns have regularly been overshadowed by urban housing debates, although they have received increased attention in recent years. The appropriateness of residential development in areas of “countryside” is sometimes hotly disputed, across developmental, community, economic, and environmental interests that often become contradictory and even conflicting. Among the myriad facets of rural housing concerns in Western societies are processes of counterurbanization, a weakening of traditional rural economies, attitudes toward the countryside, and planning system responses as key drivers of a range of outcomes: from arguably excessive development with a heavy environmental cost in some countries to an intolerance of land-use change, which fails to meet the needs of rural economies or communities elsewhere.
