Product Description
What is the difference between disurbanisation and desuburbanisation? Who lives in Cactusville or suffers from link wilt? What is wrong with dingbats? Where are Dulburb, Dullborough, Dullsville and Dulston? When does suburbia become slurbia? What is a sustainable community?
The Dictionary of Urbanism is a comprehensive and often irreverent reference for everyone whose business or passion is cities. It defines and explains almost every word or phrase that a councillor, developer, built environment professional, community activist or urban explorer is likely to hear or read.
About the Author
The author: Robert Cowan is director of the Urban Design Group, a senior research fellow in architecture at De Montfort University; a visiting examiner in planning at Manchester University; and editor of 'Context', the journal of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation. He is the author of 'Re:urbanism' (with Kelvin Campbell); 'Urban Design Guidance'; 'Placecheck'; 'The Connected City'; 'The Cities Design Forgot'; 'London After Dark' (with the photographer Alan Delaney); and government design guides for England and Scotland.
About The illustrator: Lucinda Rogers has been drawing the urban environment for over ten years and regularly exhibits her drawings of New York and London. Her interest in urban policy and politics began through an involvement with the Spitalfields Market Under Threat campaign, and her work now documents areas of East London affected by change and redevelopment. As an illustrator she has worked widely for the press, including 'The Guardian', 'Daily Telegraph' and 'New Yorker'. She illustrates the long-running Weasel column in 'The Independent' and Jonathan Meades’ Sense of Place in 'The Times'.
