(Y)OUR VISION After the national strategy was introduced towards a more cohesive Denmark, how can it be realised?

URBANISM 1: the characteristic way of life of city dwellers 2: the study of the physical needs of urban societies After the national statement was introduced towards a more cohesive Denmark, this document ‘Strategies for Ruralism’ is to act as a guide for struggling municipalities.

This migration is irreversible and cities, such as Copenhagen, will continue to be the centre of growth and the largest generator of GDP within Denmark.

The state does not condone privilages of capital in the context of our welfare systems social contract. This will result in more successful municiaplities to keep ‘permorming better’ via market stimulated development.

However, we need to begin to question how this impacts our rural areas as they become more and more dependent on grants. What can we envision for our countryside? How can it continue to function and provide most efficiently for its residents? How can it continue to offer the same level of service? Is there a way to re-assess the liveablity and what this life style choice can offer?

By dramatically re-thinking our goveranance and strategies for the ‘udkanst’ areas, Denmark can continue providing the an equal level of services to withhold its social contract to all.

If market-stimulus and growth is not an option. Denmark and its municipalities need to dramatically adapt their response to decline via flexible and responsive systems. These systems need to learn to connect and respond in a fast, creative manner.

This has all been made possible by the creation of By&Mark, a nationally approved company to provide ‘shrinking’ municipalities with light support to kick-start new strategies. These ‘shrinking’ municipalities are highlighted on the following pages in purple.

RURALISM 1: the quality or state of being rural 2: a rural idiom or expression A NEW RURALISM 1: the study of the physical needs of rural societies 2: a flexible, responsive governance of rural areas

This publication and it’s following chapters, aim to serves as a guide for the future of ‘Ruralism’ and to develop a further definition on what this could mean.

This document, ‘Strategies of Ruralism’, aims to provide your municipalities with techniques and examples of how to manage decline of your local areas.

In our recent focus upon solving and improving urban areas have we forgotten about our countryside?

This phenomenon does not co-exist with only recent years but urbanisation but peripheral decline will continue to be an issue. Yet there have been no strategies as yet which choose to manage decline without traditional market growth. Is there an alternative to the reliance upon building projects to boost an area?

LOLLAND IS STANDING OUT A case study of Lolland Municipality

As demonstrated in the previous diagrams, Lolland municipality is standing out as the most extreme case of the declining municipalities. Our research has highlighted the following challenges:

Abandoned property , Lolland Municipality

1 Lolland has an increasing ageing population

of 60+ with many of its younger population migrating towards the larger cities for education and employment.

2 This has caused a decrease in the municipali ties contributing tax base. This tax base is necessary to provide services to it’s popula- tion.

3 The decrease in tax base and its ability to raise tax has increased Lollands dependence upon state grants to fufill its service costs.

4 Lolland has commited to paying off its debts to the government and has limited room to manouvre within its budget.

5 It has an increasing stock of empty houses,

municipal buildings and empty industry areas with a future of demolition.

This raises questions upon the quality of service to provided to its citizens and the quality of life for those that live there. Can the municipality implement new strategies to manage its inevitable decline?

OUTLINING THE PROBLEM Is the widespead application of the ‘rural’ zone still relevant and useful in the present climate?

In 1962, a Zoneplanen was released to Zone Denmark into 4 distinctive ares:

1 City and Industry Areas 2 Interest for City and Industry Areas 3 Interest for Summer Houses and Conservation 4 Rural Areas These zones have been necessary to keep our rural areas free from urban sprawl. However, these areas have no defintiion further than ‘rural area’; this has led to small pockets of ‘urban’ areas to be surrounded by a blanket of industiral farming. In areas of high agricultural dominance, this has led to a monotonous landscape with low preservation of nature and lack of connectivity to coastlines and across the landscape. The intention of the Zoneplanen was to preserve the nature in rural areas and for it to be kept free from urban development, of which the latter has been successful. However with our peripheral areas in decline, can the zones be developed further to provide support to new visions?

ZONING FOR ALL? Zoning in Lolland has hardly evolved in the past 50 years but its outlook has shifted dramatically.

1 There is no market for a houseowner to sell their house.

2 The estate agent takes it off their hands for a small low cost admin fee.

3 The estate agent sells the land to the municipality for demolition.

4 A municipality results in numerous derelict plots.

5 The municipality utilises partial state and self

funding to demolish the house from the plot.

6 This plot is then sold to a neighbour or farm if

possible. If not, the municipality must upkeep maintenance on the land.

This scheme is high cost, and unsustainable in the long term. The benefit it provides to a local area is marginal and only gives a short-term solution to ‘hide’ signs of decline until the next house is emptied.

WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND? As the youth migrate and schools decline, the stock of empty municipal buildings is increasing.

$ The mass migration from ‘udkanst’ areas has left an ageing population and under used municipal building stock; including schools. This leaves the muncicipality with the following:

1 Small towns with low population numbers and little usage of sports halls / schools.

2 The municipality continues to spend money

$

on maintenance of the properities for those that utilise them.

3 Schools are a huge cost for the municipality

and the provide the same level of curriculum as urban areas becomes a challenge.

Municipal services must re-invent themselves to become more efficient. The empty building stock could be utilised for a new role with its existing connections within the town.

By taking Sollested as a case study and assess the existing municipal building stock and empty plots. Lolland is a highly agricultural area with extremely fertile land. By reinterpreting existing strengths, the scheme has relation to local communities and history. This scheme relies heavily upon it’s timeline and the stages in which it is applied.

1 Re-purposing of existing land for accommodation and agricultural plots.

2 Investment into existing trainline to provide

infrastructure to transport agricultural produce.

3 Farm School is set up within the community. This time-based scheme, if successful, could be implemented further into small towns and farmland along the trains infrastuctural line.
