Rurality near the city. This theme feels like a paradoxical statement. It so happens that, according to the most definitions of rurality, the mere proximity of urban conditions seems to be sufficient to cancel the qualification “rural”. But such a common view is exactly what this publication wants to challenge. The starting statement is that rurality should not be subjected to the proximity of urban functions or elements. As well as it is accepted that urban elements may be sprawled far into the countryside, rural elements may exist intimately close to or even within urban fabric. The clue then is to help in cultural and political sense the urban and the rural condition reaching equal levels of importance and progress. This attitude was the rationale for the Conference “Rurality near the City” (Leuven, February 7-8, 2008), resulting in this publication. The conference was organised by an assembly of Flemish networks and institutions with a shared interest in rural issues, agriculture (and land use in general), landscape, environment and spatial planning. It was attended by a number of European experts.
