'''Disurbanism''' (Coscivian: ''Akasarisēn'', from ''aka-'' "away from" + ''sar'' "city, town") is an ideology and a design movement in [[Kiravia]] with relevance to urban and civil planning, politics, and culture. Disurbanism posits that the {{wp|city}} (and in many formulations, the {{wp|town}}) is a harmful and unnecessary formation and a poor way to organise human life, and that cities and towns as currently understood should be abandoned in favour of more geographically distributed patterns of settlement. | '''Disurbanism''' (Coscivian: ''Akasarisēn'', from ''aka-'' "away from" + ''sar'' "city, town") is an ideology and a design movement in [[Kiravia]] with relevance to urban and civil planning, politics, and culture.

Disurbanism has a long history in Coscivian thought, dating back to the orator and philosopher Linux Isō, who argued that the growing lowland and coastal cities of Ancient Coscivia were instruments of oppression that were usually ruled by tyrants and threatened the customary freedoms enjoyed by villagers, crofters, and the peoples of hill and forest lands. Shafto, the seminal philosopher of Coscivian civilisation, disfavourably compared the values, political system, and lifestyle of Era, the imperial capital, to that of smaller towns and villages. The Toatrists, an Xth century Coscivian religious movement, advocated withdrawal from cities and towns as obedience to God and recommunion with Creation. | Disurbanism has a long history in Coscivian thought, dating back to the orator and philosopher Linux Isō, who argued that the growing lowland and coastal cities of Ancient Coscivia were instruments of oppression that were usually ruled by tyrants and threatened the customary freedoms enjoyed by villagers, crofters, and the peoples of hill and forest lands.

Disurbanism under Kirosocialism. | |||
Disurbanists can be found among all the major political camps of modern Kiravia. Kirosocialist Disurbanists carrying on their legacy from the Kiravian Union remain active in Kirosocialist academic circles. Disurbanism is also very popular among {{wp|distributist}} and {{wp|Christian-democratic}} [[Caritist Social Union|Caritists]]. There is a long and documented antipathy towards cities among Kiravian libertarians, who view them as overregulated, bureaucratic environments that constrain economic growth and individual freedom. | |||
