Religious Centralization is a sociopolitical process in urban development whereby religious authority, institutions, and practices become concentrated in specific urban centers, thereby distinguishing it from decentralized or localized religious systems through the systemic integration of spiritual power with centralized civic governance and spatial hierarchy.
