Definition
选址 is a verb‑object compound (选 'select' + 址 'site') meaning 'to choose a location or site'. It is widely used in business, real estate, and urban planning contexts. Although the raw gloss lists noun equivalents ('site', 'location'), in modern Chinese it functions primarily as a verb; the nominal sense ('site selection') occurs in subject or object position without any morphological change.
