Bridging Urban and Rural Divides: A Vision for People and Planet

Info

Our Mission: Reshaping Urban-Rural Dynamics Globally Why? Metropolitan areas are a major contributor to climate change due to their extensive land use, resource depletion, and pollution concentration. Urbanized areas, despite covering a small portion of the Earth's surface, account for a significant portion of global atmospheric pollution. Cities are responsible for a substantial share (75%) of global CO2 emissions, with transportation and buildings being major contributors, generate 70% of the waste, and emit 60% of greenhouse gases. Before pandemics, the United Nations estimated that six million people worldwide emigrated to cities in search of a better future each month. This influx of population to urban areas is unprecedented in human history. The result is poverty, marginalization, and chaotic urban growth. Urgent focus is needed on changing urban-rural relationships due to the pandemic, climate change, and conflicts, leading to increased human insecurities. This demands a new urban development approach based on the revival of towns and settlements, complementing efforts to mitigate urbanization and bridge urban-rural divides. Current urban paradigms no longer suffice, and a fresh perspective is needed, guided by the principles of social quality theory and its emphasis on societal dimensions. Who we are: ES VICIS Foundation is a non profit organization based in Switzerland driving positive change by bridging the gap between rural and urban areas and promoting sustainable development. Through our multiple-stakeholder program Welcome to My Village, we aim to create a future where rural communities thrive, entrepreneurship flourishes, and local resources are maximized, fostering urban-families relocation.
