The directed movement of a plastid to a specific location in the cell. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the chloroplast. The process by which chloroplasts in photosynthetic cells migrate toward illuminated sites to optimize photosynthesis and move away from excessively illuminated areas to protect the photosynthetic machinery. The relocation process by which chloroplasts in photosynthetic cells move toward a brighter area in a cell to optimize photosynthesis.
