Got a Right to the Tree of Life Religious Jurisdiction, Religious Infrastructures, and Urban Religious Territory.

- Abstract
The article discusses concepts related to urban religious communities. It draws on the work of the religious scholar Lowell Livezey. The relationships between religious organizations and their surrounding neighborhoods are analyzed in sociological terms. Examples of ways in which the activities of various religious institutions, such as churches, mosques and mandirs, affect the city of Chicago, Illinois, are described. The question of whether Chicago could therefore be regarded as a religious city, or as a city containing religious districts, is addressed.
