Author: Hagemann, Anke / Langner, Sigrun / Wende, Wolfgang / Fan, Li / Frölich-Kulik, Maria / Lynam, Ava / Xiao, Gaoli / Henneke, Laura / Pappert, LuTaking Living Labs in China as a starting point, this title provides reflections, best practices, and practical guidance on how to collaboratively investigate, envision, and plan today’s urban-rural regions. The book is underpinned by an approach that resists urban-rural dualisms, arguing that understanding the multilayered interrelationships and material flows between "city" and "countryside" is key if we are to aim for the development of truly sustainable urban planning practices. As our planet has become increasingly urbanized, the ways in which we think about cities and urbanism are also being fundamentally reconfigured. However, current urban planning approaches often remain stuck in urban-rural dualisms. Across geographies and disciplines, interconnected regions and globalized hinterlands need new and more relevant conceptualisations and methodologies to better capture emerging forms of urban-rural development.
