Urban-Rural Linkages Newsletter Third Issue

Since the last issue of this Newsletter in early 2020, life has radically changed for us all. The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed old cracks in new mirrors. The inequalities between urban and rural areas, like other social and spatial inequalities at different scales, have been exacerbated and many territories’ vulnerabilities are clearly exposed and demand a response. This crisis has also shown the importance of integrated territorial approaches to address inequalities and confirmed the heightened role of territorial systems and urban-rural linkages in the planet’s sustainability and resilience. Many people have relied on urban-rural linkages, given the critical situation in cities. These linkages were the last resort for the most vulnerable in the face of the closure of public spaces and the shutdown of entire economic sectors for months.
