Rural Areas
In general, a rural area or a countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas and areas with forestry typically are described as rural. Different countries have varying definitions of ''rural'' for statistical and administrative purposes.

This is due to conditions created by a greater level of industrial activity in a given region. However, a favorable environment for human capital development would also be ...
