Join us for the book launch of City Quitters by Karen Rosenkranz.

What does it mean to leave the city behind? Can the reality of living in the countryside fulfil our desire for a better, simpler, more creative life?

The book sheds a light on what rural life can be like today, with all its joys and challenges, providing a fresh look at the people and scenes thriving outside urban spaces.

From experimental co-habitation in a renaissance castle to oversized artworks on a farm, City Quitters offers a global perspective on creative post-urban life: 22 stories from 12 countries and five continents, all based in places with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants.

Karen Rosenkranz is an independent trend forecaster and ethnographer based in London.
