Abstract:

This Circular reviews the role of rural roads in improving rural connectivity, catalyzing economic growth and reducing poverty, managing natural disasters and manmade crises, sustaining rural livelihoods, and enhancing livability. In short, this Circular highlights the promise of rural roads as a harbinger of opportunity, progress, and prosperity and discusses what sustainability and its more practical subset, livability, mean in relation to rural roads and how the application of context-sensitive solutions (CSS) to rural roads could help achieve a better balance among the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability.
