articulación

This is from an article on the metropolitanization of Latain American cities. I am struggling to see the meaning of "articulación" here.
la tendencia creciente de una mayor articulación, aunque selectiva, de las ciudades a las lógicas de la globalización; junto con el creciente protagonismo de las ciudades intermedias
Están más articulados al circuito superior de la economía urbana (por la producción y por el crédito), reforzando la tendencia de la articulación latinoamericana a las lógicas neoliberales de la globalización.

connection
This word always a head-scratcher. There's nothing quite like the concept in English, short of 'articulation', which we don't use very much. 'Connection' might work in your examples.

coordination, orientation
I think the word "articulación" could be translated in different ways in these different sentences.
"Coordination," "organization" or "planning" could work in the first and second instances, relating to cities.
Wordreference.com:
articulación urbana grupo nom (integración de elemento) urban planning n
articulación nf (organización, coordinación) interaction n
(US) organization n
(UK) organisation n
articulación entre empresas nf + loc prep (vertebramiento de empresas) coordination among companies n
I think "orientation" or "inclination" could work for articulación in the phrase "la tendencia de la articulación latinoamericana a las lógicas neoliberales de la globalización."

"Structuring," "interaction," "integration" are more possibilities.

: would agree, to structure, maybe to implement, define?

I'm not saying "implement" but you could submit that.:) See linguee link: that's what my suggestion of " structuring" was based on.

vertebration
This might work, at a pinch.
Spanish politicians are certainly fond of "vertebrar/vertebración" (Salvador apuesta por vertebrar el territorio), and the English calque "vertebrate" appears to have made its way into many translated documents, at least in the EU.

There's even a ministry for it:
"Ministry of Housing, Public Works and Territorial Vertebration"

: Interesting, and I did find "vertebramiento" as synonym for "articulación." It is hard to find vertebration in English usage in a figurative sense, but it is an option.

It's used so much in Spain I was surprised to find it's not in common use in English, but hey, Spanglish is everywhere nowadays... :-)
