| Abstract | "The Routledge Handbook of Small Towns addresses the theoretical, methodical and practical issues related to the development of small towns and neighbouring countryside. Small towns play a very important role in spatial structure by performing numerous significant developmental functions for rural areas. At the local scale, they act as engines for economic growth of rural regions and as a link in the system of connections between large urban centers and countryside. The book addresses the role of small towns in the local development of regions in countries with different levels of development and economic systems, including those in Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and Australia. Chapters address the functional structure of small towns, relations between small towns and rural areas and the challenges of spatial planning in the context of shaping the development of small towns. Students and scholars of urban planning, urban geography, rural geography, political geography, historical geography, population geography will learn about the role of small towns in the local development of countries representing different economic systems and developmental conditions"-- Provided by publisher. |
