Community as Urban Practice
Community is a central idea in urban studies but remains conceptually vague and empirically difficult to work with.Building on existing theories of community, Talja Blokland offers an important contribution to defining and understanding this key theme. Blokland argues that there has been too much focus on community as a stable construct, formed by durable relationships with kin, friends, social groups or neighbours.She draws attention to the non-durable, fluid encounters that constitute community, theorizing communities as shared urban practices in a globalizing world.The book proposes two core ways of thinking about community: the dimension of familiarity, defined by our ability to construct identities, and the dimension of access, defined by our freedom to enter and leave urban spaces.These dimensions form various urban configurations which enable us to experience and practise community in diverse ways.As this book maintains, community is after all an urban practice, not a fixed state of affairs.

Is microblading practice color really practice color? Who knows?
Microblading practice color is typically a neutral or light shade that is used during the training process to simulate the appearance of microblading strokes on artificial skin. It is not an exact representation of the final result on a client's skin, as the actual pigment used during the procedure may vary based on the client's skin tone and desired outcome. Ultimately, the effectiveness of microblading practice color in preparing technicians for real-life procedures may vary depending on the individual and their experience level.

Is this a matter of practice or of the practice?
The use of "practice" versus "the practice" depends on the context. If you are referring to the general concept or act of practicing something, then you would use "practice." However, if you are referring to a specific instance or established procedure, then you would use "the practice." So, whether you use "practice" or "the practice" depends on whether you are talking about a general idea or a specific instance.
