But this can only be achieved if all the actors join forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of 2020, the Department of Territory and Sustainability of the Government of Catalonia launched a <\/span><b>programme <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to promote housing in rural areas. Two million euros were allocated for rehabilitating unused housing to encourage new families to move in. In villages such as Garidells, in Alt Camp, it was precisely the lack of housing that led them to lose 18.8% of their inhabitants in the last ten years, to only 190 registered inhabitants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The management of the local Councils is very important, as the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diputaci\u00f3 de Lleida<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that presented a few days ago a new<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diputaciolleida.cat\/la-diputacio-reforca-amb-25-me-el-pressupost-del-2021-per-lluitar-contra-els-efectes-socioeconomics-de-la-pandemia-el-despoblament-i-la-creacio-duna-agencia-de-lenergia\/\"><b> budget item<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to halt depopulation through actions such as encouraging digital connectivity. At the local level, Councils are also creating promotional campaigns, through the rehabilitation of spaces, aid for young people or the advantages that a new life in the countryside can offer, such as the Cardona City Council&#8217;s campaign<\/span><b> &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCYCNINcEUY6veDluzbTOQJA\/videos\">A new life<\/a>&#8220;.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The society, on the other hand, has created citizen initiatives to fill villages with life. This is the case of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/productorscat.cat\/repoblem\"><b>Repoblem<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Repopulate), the project that has revolutionised social networks, bringing together other projects and opportunities in rural areas and people who may be interested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Psychology backs up the benefits of rural life<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social and environmental psychologist Mathew White has conducted a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/64293418\"><b>study <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of 10,000 people during eighteen years and found that people who live in contact with nature have less mental fatigue, lower rates of depression and a higher quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to disconnect, to get away from the hectic pace and visual stress of the city or the ease of access to natural and organic products are some of the advantages that rural dwellers value most. Rural life also increases the feeling of belonging to a community, which reduces the sense of isolation and loneliness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the case of Susanna, who has lived for twenty years in the urban centre of Pallej\u00e0 and now returns with her whole family to the village of Gandesa, where she is from. She is a sanitary worker and, for both her family and her, the confinement was the decisive point for moving. The advantages were clear: &#8220;more freedom and also much more security&#8221;. The only inconvenience was the change in social life, as there are few friends who live year-round. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Financial and digital exclusion, the unresolved issue <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Villages face the challenge of financial, digital and communication exclusion. The communications system, transport and business network are clearly centralised in the big cities, and this can be a major challenge for rural inhabitants, who have to travel to do anything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic has shown that access to the digital network opens up a world of possibilities for working or studying from anywhere; it means individual freedom to decide, but with the major conditioning factor of connectivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catalonia faces the challenge of bringing connectivity to all these areas. It would be an unprecedented technological milestone that would position Catalonia internationally as a strategic point for the development of the <a href=\"http:\/\/smartcatalonia.gencat.cat\/en\/projectes\/tecnologies\/detalls\/article\/estrategia-5g-de-catalunya\"><b>5G strategy<\/b><\/a>. A revolution in the world of communications that would offer the intersectoral consolidation of the social and productive network: fostering a new technology industry, attracting talent, leading the world in 5G and bringing together the administration and telecommunications operators to accelerate the deployment and coverage of 5G throughout the territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these challenges, projects and demands make up the current map of depopulation in Catalonia and show that the roadmap in this regard is clear: if territorial distribution must include villages, then villages must have access to all the services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Do you want to be the first to receive the latest news about 11Onze?
