Polycentric

/ˌpɒl.iˈsɛn.trɪk/

बहु-केंद्रित

Origin & History

From poly- (“many”) + centric (“centered”), ultimately from Greek polýs (“many”) and kéntron (“center”).

poly- (अर्थ: ‘अनेक/बहु’) + centric (अर्थ: ‘केंद्रित’) से बना; मूलतः यूनानी polýs (‘बहुत/अनेक’) और kéntron (‘केंद्र’) से।

Definition

Polycentric describes a system, city, organization, or region that has several important centers (for jobs, decision-making, services, or growth) instead of being dominated by one central hub.

'पॉलीसेंट्रिक' उस व्यवस्था, शहर, संगठन या क्षेत्र को कहते हैं जिसमें एक ही केंद्र के बजाय गतिविधि, सत्ता/निर्णय-निर्माण, सेवाओं या विकास के कई प्रमुख केंद्र होते हैं।
