; Place Landmarks
: '''The 'Third Place' (Ray Oldenburg)''' → The theory that a healthy democracy needs "Third Places" (like the British Pub or the French Cafe) where people can meet and talk as equals.
: '''Brasilia''' → A city designed by Oscar Niemeyer as a masterpiece of "Space," but often criticized for being a difficult "Place" to live because it is too spread out and car-focused.
: '''Disneyization''' → The transformation of a real place (like Venice or Times Square) into a "Themed Experience" that feels more like a movie set than a living community.
: '''The 'Right to the City'''' → Henri Lefebvre's idea that citizens should have the right to "Shape" the places they live, rather than just being "Consumers" in them.
