More and more people are drawn into the cities, while rural areas are continuously losing population. Recently the media have also been mentioning the rural exodus. Many studies are confirming this development, while the results are often reduced simplistically to "crowded cities" and "ailing villages". However, the differentiated reality shows that some rural regions are experiencing the demographic change particularly strongly, while other rural regions are gaining population. Many large cities and larger medium-sized cities are booming, but others are affected by out-migration as well. It depends on the regional context, the economic structure and often also on the neighbourhood, i.e. on the proximity to centres or agglomerations.

In this issue the subject "rural exodus" is therefore discussed objectively, outlining facts, statistics and the scientific discourse.
