Here the cat was also considered a guardian of homes and a symbol of domestic goodness. In Muslim lore, the cat is honored for saving Mohammad from an attack by a fierce snake. Here it is believed the M marking on the forehead of many tabby cats is the mark of the prophet (M for Mohammad).
(Redirected from Urban Growth Boundary). An urban growth boundary, or UGB, is a regional boundary, set in an attempt to control urban sprawl by mandating that the area inside the boundary be used for higher density urban development and the area outside be used for lower density development.
Because there is so much confusion about city definitions, a clarification is required. The only geography for which overall urban density can be measured is the urban area, which is the area of continuous development. The urban area is not constrained by municipal or other jurisdictional boundaries and does not include rural (undeveloped) territory, even if it is in a central city (such as Rome, Ho Chi Minh or Marseille, with their expansive boundaries).
