The Rural Development Institute has released a Working Paper Series on Rural Regions. These five working papers have been written to add the conversation about rural regions from an economic perspective. The approach taken is to provide information on topics relevant to economic development and also move the conversation from a local discussion to one about rural regions.

The working papers are as follows and can be read in any order you wish.

1. Regional is Rural
2. Understanding Regions with Economic Models
3. Administrative Regions in Manitoba
4. Manitoba Municipality Indicators Database
5. Applying Regional Understanding to Municipalities
