peer agreement (net): +1overdevelopment and urban marginality Explanation: Perhaps this is what you are looking for. macrocephaly: abnormal enlargement or overdevelopment. (collins) Wikipedia: Overdevelopment refers to a process by which natural resources are impacted by urbanization and/or road construction, at a rate significantly harmful to the ecosystem. Environmental activism is a frequent response to overdevelopment, as well as are many fields of academic study. Sustainability is the conceptual goal that is frequently cited as a response. |

Conurbations and poor neighbourhoods Explanation: As Big Ed said, the source term sounds like a very complicated, and university-inspired, description of a very simple idea. From Moliner conurbación (del ingl. «conurbation») f. Conjunto de centros urbanos próximos que al crecer llegan a constituir una sola unidad. From Oxford Spanish marginal adj 1 a ‹ barrio ›: en las barriadas marginales in the poor, outlying areas of the city b (no central, de poca importancia) ‹ posición › peripheral; ‹ asunto › marginal, peripheral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conurbation neighbourhood (UK) or neighborhood (US) |

Macrocephalia and urban marginalization Explanation: They are actually very common concepts in urban development (at least their Spanish denominations are); and the first one is borrowed from a medical term, to give it more of a "scientific" connotation. I would go with somethig similar to what Big Ed proposes, except that "urban" would only refer to marginalization and not to macrocephalia... if it is one of the titles in a course description, the content will probably shed some light on the actual meaning. good luck -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2007-09-21 12:20:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm liking "macrocephaly" best...
