Nautral and rural areas
Overview
A disruption of the cross-border link
Rural cross-border areas have often shared a common culture (language, landscapes, architecture, traditional skills, agricultural traditions, celebrations...). The mutation of the societies that inhabit these areas, under the strain of economic and social change, has led to a migration of these populations towards national urban centres situated in their periphery, leading to the progressive disappearance of this cross-border rural culture and a part of the identity of these territories.
