Rural Development

Rural Development is a comprehensive term. It essentially focuses on action for the development of areas outside the mainstream urban economic system. Rural Development is the process of improving the quality of life and well-being of people living in rural areas, often relatively isolated and sparsely populated areas. But there is more to it. Rural development is a deep critique on the hitherto one-sided city development dominated socio-cultural and technological debates. The prognosis that the largest part of the world population within 20 years will live in a city context is totally speculative (no one can point out who came up with that idea and what that is based on). Any subtility about the current situation is hereby lacking, and the dichotomy overrules the historical triade: villages, rural and larger cities. The same goes for art and culture. More complex understandings of the diverse behaviour of the world contributes to more versatile and dynamic attitudes and likings. Ideas and aesthetics. DIY technologies that make sense where you are, with whom you are and have fun with, with whom and what you work or make something. Rural Development is a way of future thinking, not like the one-sided and outdated political, industrial and social memories of a forlorn past, pragmatically based on individual rewardings. Rural Development hints at a novel existence: dynamical, creative and limitless. But most of all: Never be fixed in a prescriptive, and compulsory system. Go for the open and shared solutions, as they can be changing with the weather, soil, or sunlight. Only out of chaos new temporary systems an emerge, new creativity gets born. Remember we are just animals like all the others. Rural Development Plays!
