Urbanwords: the website of The Dictionary of Urbanism

http://www.urbanwords.info/



Published by Streetwise Press, The Dictionary of Urbanism is described as "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". This website accompanying the book inevitably does its best to drum up sales with glowing reviews and details of where to buy it, but is also an interesting resource in its own right. Content includes a regularly updated supplement to the book featuring new dictionary entries, a browsable list of entries, selected quotations, details of how to contribute, and a useful list of references, while a very good links page flags up other urbanism and related sites.
