Abstract
Cloke P.J. (1978) Changing patterns of urbanisation in rural areas of England and Wales, 1961–1971, Reg. Studies 12, 603–617. Data generated by the construction of indices of rurality for 1961 and 1971 are used to describe the manifestations of rural change over this period. Particular emphasis is paid to processes of urbanisation but ‘ruralisation’ trends are also monitored. Analysis of inter-index change suggests some underlying uniformities in the processes of rurality dynamics over time. A cyclic or spiral model of rural change is proposed and both present and projected movements on the cycle are examined. Finally, practical applications of the cyclic model, both in terms of planning processes and in the understanding of rurality trends, are outlined.Keywords
