Explanation:

- Urban displosion: This is not a commonly recognized term in urban studies. It might imply urban spreading or dispersal but is not standard terminology.

- Gentrification: This is the process where the character of a neighborhood changes due to wealthier individuals moving in, leading to rising property values and rents. This can displace lower-income residents.

- De-urbanization: This refers to a decline in the population of urban areas, often as people move to rural areas, opposite to the trend of urbanization.

- Counter Urbanisation: This involves the movement of people from cities to rural areas, often seeking a quieter life, which leads to urban areas losing population while rural areas gain.
