'Territory as a culture. Nature against things rural' - CIUDAD y TERRITORIO Estudios Territoriales

Introduction

The paper informs us of how accelerated change in Spain’s countryside brought upon by the despotic demands or urban zones has carried with it a great demographic abandoning of the same.

Description

That countryside culture that also saw to how such areas were run has likewise gone but no administrative substitute has taken its place to such a degree that a rootlessly mythical notion of ‘nature’ now rules the roost were once rustic lore was cock of the walk. A Culture of Territory is thus here proposed by the author that would have much in common with the so-called Water Culture that some opponents of the way this element is administered are suggesting. Both cultures would [and once did] marry knowledge and well tried skills and wisdom to the general weal in a way that brute facts and simple territorial use for building ground or thematic natural reserves could never aspire to do.
