👉 Ruralized is a term used in various contexts to describe a community or region that has been largely or entirely disconnected from urban life and infrastructure. This can be due to factors such as poverty, isolation, lack of access to basic services like healthcare, education, and utilities, or because the economy has shifted towards rural areas. Ruralization is often associated with the decline in industrial production in rural areas over time, which leads to a decrease in agricultural productivity, land degradation, and environmental degradation.
