Key Terms<\/h3>\n

City: <\/strong>A constellation of people and social, political, and economic institutions and\u00a0infrastructures\u00a0within a physical location.<\/p>\n

Colonial city: <\/strong>A settlement either mapped onto an existing settlement or created to establish economic and military dominance in a colony.<\/p>\n

Deterritorialization: <\/strong>The severing of social, cultural and political ties from a homeland.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Displacement:<\/strong>\u00a0 The coerced movement of a people from their traditional homeland.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Global sense of place: <\/strong>Every city is globalized or worldly precisely because of its relationship to other places, and the mobile processes that are ongoing in places. Likewise, a global sense of place means that\u00a0the territoriality, or what makes a place unique, is able to be understood because other places are different.<\/p>\n

LEED <\/strong>(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): A certification system for green building construction.<\/p>\n

New urbanism:<\/strong> Connectivity, sustainability, walkability, traditional design, increased density and mixed-use structures.<\/p>\n

Reterritorialization: <\/strong>the rebuilding or reconstruction of a previously deterritorialized place.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Systems -thinking:<\/strong> An approach to understanding cities based on ecological notions of interconnections. This perspective sees cities as a series of interrelated social, economic and ecological processes that are in constant interaction and motion.<\/p>\n

Urbanization: <\/strong>Combines various socio-economic, political, technological and environmental processes that affect the way that cities are made up and how people live in cities.<\/p>\n

Urban artifacts : <\/strong>Public material structures that have layers of meaning placed on them by people in the city.<\/p>\n

Urban decay:<\/strong> Processes defined by stagnating economies due to deindustrialization, depopulation of cities, changing and racialized populations moving into the city, immigration, a growing ideology of home ownership and suburbanization, fears of increased crime, and poverty leading to increased instances of ill health, illicit drug use and decreased property values.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
