Placelessness refers to the phenomenon where certain environments or spaces lack a distinct sense of identity or character. This often occurs in urban areas where buildings, shopping centers, and public spaces are designed to be generic and interchangeable, making them feel similar regardless of location. As a result, people may struggle to connect with these spaces on a personal or emotional level. This concept is often discussed in relation to globalization, which can lead to the spread of uniform architecture and culture. As cities adopt similar designs and amenities, unique local characteristics may diminish, contributing to a sense of disconnection and loss of place.
