Within Europe, permanent settlement became the rule only after the Agrarian Revolution, which appears to have started some ten thousand years ago. Most people came to live in farmhouses, often grouped in villages. A few villages developed into towns and even cities. However, the percentage of the population that lived in an urban setting remained small in agrarian society. This pattern changed drastically after the Industrial Revolution, when, in less than two centuries, massive urbanisation took place.
Curiously, this massive exodus from the land to the city was not accompanied by negative attitudes to rural living. In fact, the reverse occurred. It would seem that the less rural life is practised, the more it is cherished and the greater the emphasis on the hazards of urban life. In the years following the Industrial Revolution, a new artistic theme emerged: the theme of pastoral idyll.
Lyrics, novels and paintings began to emphasise the beauty of nature and the virtues of rural life. A constant undertone in this theme is that rural living is more satisfying than life in the town. We are led to believe that, in the country, we canfind the safe, simple serenity that is so desperately needed by the alienated city dweller. In reality, various studies on life satisfaction have revealed that there is no advantage to living in a rural setting.
In developed countries, rural people tend to be just as satisfied with life as city people.

In reality, various studies on life satisfaction have revealed that there is no advantage to living in a rural setting. In developed countries, rural people tend to be just as satisfied with life as city people.
Moreover, in the developing countries, rural dwellers are markedly less happy than city dwellers. The results of a survey conducted to find out where people would prefer to live given the choice showed that the pattern of preference is in fact the reverse of the pattern of settlement. Rural living is preferred more in the most urbanised parts of the world, while urban living is seen as most desirable in the least urbanised parts.
