Counter-urbanization is a demographic and social process whereby people move from urban areas to rural areas. It first took place as a reaction to inner-city deprivation and overcrowding. Initial studies of counter-urbanization were carried out by human geographer Brian Berry.[1] More recent research has documented the social and political drivers of counter-urbanization and its impacts in developing countries such as China, which are currently undergoing processes of mass urbanization.[2] It is one of the causes that can lead to shrinking cities.
