| Publisher Description: This book highlights the challenges and opportunities of (re)constructing a sustainable rural community. Based on knowledge and experience accumulated during a six-year rural revitalization project in Hong Kong, the book provides an in-depth analysis of a case study along with related concepts from the literature. The revitalization project was showcased in the databases of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)'s Equator Initiative and the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI). Further, the UNDP commended the program's success in addressing nine of the UNSDGs through its community-based approaches toward achieving sustainability. This book teases out the key issues in the process of revitalizing a rural community and examines the complexities embedded in each issue and how they can be addressed in the quest for rural sustainability. |
