You're increasingly hearing: "I want to live closer to nature," "I'm tired of the noise and constant rush," "I want space and quiet." And this isn't just talk - the trend is truly returning.

The pandemic, war, instability, and remote work have forced many to rethink their values. When you can work online, the city you live in no longer matters. Fresh air, peace, safety, and the ability to go outside or into the woods, rather than into the cramped courtyards of high-rise buildings, become far more important.

Villages and small towns are no longer associated solely with a lack of prospects. On the contrary, they represent a new formula for quality of life: a home of your own, a garden or vegetable patch, cleaner food, a slower and healthier pace. People are tired of living "on the fly" and have begun to appreciate the simple things.

Of course, big cities aren't going anywhere or losing their role. They remain hubs of business, culture, and events. But this is no longer the only path. More and more people are choosing a balance: living closer to nature and using the city as a tool, not a place for constant survival.

Perhaps we're not witnessing an escape from the city, but a conscious choice. A return to roots, to silence, to oneself. And it seems this "fashion" isn't temporary. It's about the desire to live, not to constantly play catch-up.
