This book explores the challenges and opportunities of reconstructing a sustainable rural community on the outskirts of an urban community, using a case study in Hong Kong. It examines the concept of rural resilience and how communities at the urban-rural interface can leverage their position and connections to create vibrant sustainable communities. The project was showcased in the UNDP's Equator Initiative and the IPSI, and achieved Special Recognition for Sustainable Development in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2020.

This captivating book delves into the intricate challenges and remarkable opportunities of (re)constructing a sustainable rural community on the fringes of the urban landscape. Drawing upon a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience gained through implementing a rural revitalization project in Hong Kong since 2013, the author offers a comprehensive analysis of a case study, complemented by relevant concepts from the literature. In particular, the concept of rural resilience is dissected and applied to explore how communities situated at the urban-rural interface can harness their unique position and interconnectedness to (re)create vibrant, sustainable communities.
The revitalization project, recognized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)s Equator Initiative and the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI), has also garnered Special Recognition for Sustainable Development in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2020.
Through this book, the author unravels the critical aspects involved in revitalizing a rural community within the peri-urban context, meticulously examining the complexities inherent in each issue and proposing effective strategies for addressing them in the pursuit of rural sustainability. The text serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars interested in exploring innovative approaches to rural development and promoting sustainable communities.
