The growing interconnection and interdependence of the world through flows of capital, goods, people and culture

The movement of factories from cities to rural areas inside one country, keeping all trade strictly domestic

The deliberate closing of national borders to trade so that each country produces only for its own people

By raising the cost of shipping goods, making long-distance trade far less affordable

By preventing trade between continents, forcing firms to source everything locally instead

By cutting loading times and freight costs, enabling cheap global supply chains

By replacing the internet as the main means of moving information around the world

A global hub city with very high connectivity to the rest of the world

A country that hosts many transnational corporation headquarters and offices

A place that happens to have some of the fastest internet speeds in the world

A place largely bypassed by global flows of investment and people

The IMF, World Bank and WTO

Local councils and parish boards

National sports federations

Regional weather agencies

Only the total population size of a place, with no reference at all to its culture, setting, history or the meanings people give it

The distinctive character of a place built from its setting, functions, culture and the meanings people attach to it

Only the exact latitude and longitude coordinates that pinpoint a place on a map of the world

Only the number of shops and businesses found in a place, ignoring its character and history

Because it always lowers house prices and so reduces the wealth of every resident

Because regeneration schemes are illegal and councils are never allowed to run them

Because of fear of gentrification, rising rents, displacement or loss of identity

Because regeneration has no effect on the area at all and changes nothing for anyone

Average annual rainfall and temperature

Local soil type and the prevailing wind speed

Length of the coastline and height above sea level

Employment rate and life expectancy

International and internal migration

Falling birth rates among the existing population

Declining transport links into and out of the city

Rising sea levels along the nearby coastline

Because the place itself physically changes its form each time a different person looks at it

Because of differences in lived experience, attachment, memory and length of residence

Because outsiders are physically unable to see or visit the place at all from a distance

Because perception of a place is exactly identical for absolutely everyone who encounters it

They are exactly the same thing, with the two words used interchangeably by geographers

Offshoring only ever applies to farming and food production, never to manufacturing or services

Offshoring moves a firm's own work abroad; outsourcing contracts work to another firm

Outsourcing always stays within national borders and can never involve a firm in another country

Because no one ever measures it, so there is simply no evidence on which to base any judgement

Because regeneration never changes anything at all in an area, leaving every place exactly as it was

Because only the national government holds any opinion on it, and everyone else stays entirely silent

Because economic gains can coexist with social losses, so different players reach different verdicts
