Introduction -- Rural heritage -- Rural character -- Regional vision -- Research foundation -- Rural design strategies -- Interdisciplinary connections -- Rural future.
This book is the first step along the path for rural design to emerge as an important new design discipline. Rural Design: A New Design Discipline establishes the theoretical base for rural design and the importance of looking at connecting issues to create synergy and optimal solutions from a global, national, state, region, and local perspective. To be effective and relevant, this new discipline must be founded on solid research, and practice must be based on data-driven evidence that will result in transformational changes.
