Countries around the world invest in the economic development of their rural towns. The question isn’t how they will get the money but how they will use it. Some use that investment wisely and those investments pay off, some don’t!

I see. So you really mean villages are an important part of the future.

We still need large economic powerhouse cities and other manufacturing centers to provide a tax base that can then be distributed to these villages.
