- - - - Gentrification - A specific type of urban planning aiming to renovate poorer parts of a city to draw attention to wealthier citizens and kick out the people already living there.
        
        Vancouver - Vancouver is a city in southwestern Canada. In the Downtown Eastside, a historically poor neighborhood, there was a recent gentrification attempt. While it resulted in higher standard of living and better infrastructure, the poorer individuals that may have had their family living there for generations, were kicked out due to the higher cost of living.
      - Redlining - the act of planning a city so as to give power and privilege to certain parts of a city while decreasing opportunity for the other parts.
      - Sustainable Cities - Cities that are designed with the aim of removing as much CO2 emissions from the air as possible. An example of a city that is aiming to become sustainable is Singapore.
  - - - Primate City - The largest city in a country; must also have more than twice the population of the second largest city in said country. Examples include Mexico City, Oslo, Paris, Reykjavik
      - Megacity - A city with over 10 million people. Examples include NYC, Mexico City, and Tokyo.
- - - - Belt and Road - An initiative made by China to provide infrastructure in many poorer countries, as well as start a larger global trade network. The road is the part of the network across the ocean, and the belt is across land. I put this under both global supply chain and capital and investment because China is investing in many different projects around the world in order to secure its position in the global supply chain.
      - Imports - A good entering a country. I put both this and exports specifically under global supply chain because they are about trade between countries.
      - Exports - A good leaving from a country, either the finished product or unfinished.
      - Container Ship - A large ship that carries goods across the ocean
      - Choke Points - A point allowing world trade to happen. Typically narrow and whoever controls them typically controls trade in a given area. Some examples include : The Strait of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, and the Panama Canal. I put this under global supply chain because choke points have a very large effect on the supply chain.
  - - - Ivory Coast and Chocolate - The Ivory Coast, a country in west Africa, is the world's largest supplier of cocoa. However, a vast majority of the chocolate industry done in the Ivory Coast is farming, which only gets about five percent of the total profit. To make matters worse, that five percent is split between many farmers each time a chocolate bar is sold. This makes the Ivory Coast like many of its neighbors in Africa, selling a luxury that the people working don't themselves get to witness, only to get a fraction of the profits.
      - Scarcity - how little of something a country has.
- - - - Undocumented - Someone that fled into another country but does not have any legal documentation in said country. There is some controversy near the U.S. and Mexican border because there are a lot of undocumented immigrants moving through.
      - Refugee - Someone fleeing from a country and seeking refuge in another. The country with the highest number of refugees in the world is Turkey, as there is a civil war in Syria that has created a drastic number of refugee's and turkey is relatively close to Syria.
      - Asylum - a safe place provided by a nation for someone who has fled from their home country for one reason or another. I put this under immigrant because it relates to someone who has left there home country and already entered another.
      - Documented - Someone who entered another country with legal documentation.
