A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a plastid. The directed movement of a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, to a specific location within, or in the membrane of, a cell. 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 relocation process by which chloroplasts in photosynthetic cells avoid strong light and move away from it in order to preserve the photosynthetic machinery. Any process by which a plastid is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location within the cell. 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. The directed movement of an organelle to a specific location.
