Rural settings offer a sense of tranquility, close community ties, and a connection to nature that appeal to many individuals seeking a simpler way of life.
However, this is as far as the appeal or attractiveness of rural settings go. This is because life in the rural community is often tempered by the lack of essential services and opportunities, fewer amenities, limited infrastructure, and a slower pace of life, driving many residents, particularly young people, to migrate to urban areas in search of better prospects.
The result is overcrowding, unemployment, and social tensions in urban areas.
Here, we discuss strategies and challenges of making rural dwellings habitable, and the potential impact on curbing rural-urban migration.
The aim was to foster vibrant rural economies, preserve cultural heritage, and mitigate the adverse effects of mass migration on both rural and urban areas.
