The Dictionary of Urbanism

By Robert Cowan

'The Dictionary of Urbanism: informed, inspiring and entertaining' -- Dan Cruickshank

'I have only had this book a couple of weeks, but already I wonder how we ever did without it' -- Joe Holyoak in the Architects' Journal

'My unalloyed pleasure at this book derives from Cowan’s incredibly broad-church approach to urbanism, and his clear and concise definitions. Any dictionary that contains on the same page a reference to R&B legends Martha and the Vandellas, Marxism and master plan deserves one’s custom' -- Hank Dittmar, chief executive of the Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment and chair of the Congress for the New Urbanism, in Context
