Synopsis
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 illustrator: Lucinda Rogers has been drawing the urban environment for over ten years and regularly exhibits her drawings of New York and London.
