Comments

Jarrod and Olivier discuss Sustainability in Contemporary Rural Japan: Challenges and Opportunities by Stephanie Assmann.

We discuss how towns are introducing social entrepreneurship to stimulate their economies, how schools are being repurposed, why young people are interested in moving to rural parts of Japan, and how art can revitalize island communities.
⁠
This episode is full of tangible case studies that Japan can teach the rest of the world, which will face again population crises and rural-urban brain drains of its own. ⁠
