Innovative approaches in the process of re-integration of city and village

Abstract

Disintegration processes of town and country are in the final phase at almost all global territories both in developing and developed countries. The implication of these complex and multileveled processes of disintegration are manifesting in two main streams: ����� Depopulation of rural areas, ����� Overpopulation of town and cities, These streams have the most negative effects in devastation of rural areas causing constant unbalance in space at local and global level. The time have come to oppose these processes of disintegration in the manner of stopping the negative trends and creating re-integrative processes and strategies in between urban and rural areas. This is the only way of balancing these two opposite processes of urbanisation and de-ruralisation, through renewal of balanced development between town and country. This kind of renewal means integration of rural and urban values and spaces into the strategies of integrative territories in which we have to introduce innovative programmes and plans that will accost country to town and vice versa consigning one to another in the way of mixing the mutual values and advantages. This approach needs reprograming both rural and urban codes and modules aiming to recognize methodical and model routes towards forming innovative programmes, scenarios, concepts, strategies, and action plans in order to reactivate and renew rural areas in function of forming integrative connection with urban areas.
