The plaza is a central feature of the Cultural District. (Pittsburgh Art Tour)

(KGT 16f):  Within the land mass are distinct areas, some of which are demarcated geographically (divided by a mountain range, for example), while the boundaries of others seem rather arbitrary, the result, no doubt, of ancient power struggles. A specific area whose borders are definable, by whatever means, is normally called a {Sep}, commonly translated as "region", though, since the regions were politically distinct in the past, "country" might have at one time been just as appropriate a translation. An identifiable area within a {Sep} is a {yoS} (area, district), and a {yoS} usually contains at least one important {veng} (city); though sometimes, especially in the more rugged parts of a planet, there may be only a small settlement or {vengHom} [village]). This terminology is also used when describing other planets within the Empire ... Sometimes, however, the meaning of a place name is clear, such as the Sakrej region's {HuD beQ yoS} (Flat Mountain district)
