Talk:Rural community development

development of rural areas is the development of the nation discuss

This article has a strong start but could use more organization and citations. More countries besides the UK and the US could be included in order to provide a more overarching overview. None of the information is linked to a citation, and some of the reference links no longer work. Karah26 (talk) 02:11, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, Karah26. Without inline citations these claims are unsubstantiated. Whether they are legitimate or not, they must have a citation. Several sentences are biased. Overall, I don't think it offers a comprehensive portrayal of the study/practice. What are recent scholarly journals saying? How are they defining the topic? How has the topic evolved historically? Who are the leaders in the field? Djfiedler (talk) 00:10, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, how is rural community development being utilized abroad in the "Global South"? What techniques are being used there, and how do they differ from those used in the "Global North"? What kinds of difficulties are encountered in rural community development (and rural community development in the "global south") that one wouldn't encounter in an urban area (or in the "global north")? --Hschaefle (talk) 22:58, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
