Observations that resolve nearby galaxies into individual regions across multiple phases of the gas–star formation–feedback “matter cycle” have provided a sharp new view of molecular clouds, star-formation efficiencies, timescales for region evolution, and stellar feedback. We synthesize these results, covering aspects relevant to the interpretation of observables, and conclude the following:
