What is another word for nonurban areas?
Pronunciation: [nˌɒnˈɜːbən ˈe͡əɹi͡əz] (IPA) 
Nonurban areas refer to those regions that are not urban but still have clusters of human settlements. They are often referred to as rural areas, which signify an agricultural or natural landscape. However, there are other synonyms that better describe nonurban areas, such as countryside, hinterland, outback, backcountry, and backwoods. These terms usually emphasize the remoteness and expansiveness of these regions, as well as the traditional and simple way of life of the people inhabiting them. While these areas may lack the amenities and convenience of urban centers, they offer a serene and tranquil environment, rich cultural heritage, and abundant natural resources that are increasingly becoming a magnet for tourism.
