How often do you think about decentralization?

In r/greece we often have discussions about decentralization. Greece is, as you might know, one of the most centralized countries in the world with Athens dominating over the rest of the country. As a result most of the country has been abandoned over the past 70 years in favour of Athens and the gap only widens every year. A lot of people would like to live in the countryside, in small cities or even villages, but this is more often than not possible because every well-paying job is located in Athens and the infrastructure in rural areas is outdated and underfunded. Moreover government policy has been to consistently encourage the development of Athens by restricting funds for local government, trying to control local government politics, fostering clientelism and massively investing in infrastructure in the capital.

At the same time however there are many grassroots initiatives in recent years (ex: Vamvakou Revival) to revive depopulated rural areas -mostly mountainous and this proves a lot of people are interested in living outside of Athens, even in isolated villages. This stems due to a large part that despite the huge investment Athens has received over the years it is one of the ugliest of Europe with a very low quality of life and severe social and economic issues.

So I wanted to ask if in your country you have similar discussions and thoughts.
