New Urbanism

The art of observing a person, place, or thing and concluding it would be better off as a six-storey mixed-use development.

Why would you just build a fire station there when you could but a nice mixed-use development overtop of it? What could go wrong? "-New Urbanism"

Tactical Urbanism

Tactical Urbanism is the belief that faffing about becomes productive if you make up new words for it, and it takes place on The Street, in A City.

Tactical Urbanism is going to make this city awesome. I already have a website with pictures and we're on our 15th charrette.

New Urbanism

Urban design movement started in the late 1980 aiming to reform all aspects of real estate development; Movement to make suburbs look like a city without including the amenities

New Urbanism guides development at all scales; I blame New Urbanism for the increase in my taxes.

URBANISMIC

URBANISMIC, from someone who is interested in elements of URBAN life, but, not as committed or inspired as some of the URBAN CREATERS who produce new words.

We'll have to chat with him or her to see how URBANISMIC this person can be, and how much help he can give us in moving the software in the right direction - catch my drift?

urbanista

An urbanista is an urban fashionista. An urbanista is (typically) a woman who is interested in fashion, especially high end and non-mainstream fashion and who also has an in-depth knowledge of the best people, places, and things her city has to offer. She knows where to find those stylish Italian boots noone else wears yet, who to call to get the best table at the trendiest restaurant in town and what gallery to contact if your are an up-and-coming artist. An urbanista is selective, but never snobbish, intellectual, but also street smart. She is a living "insider's guide" to the city.

- This is an amazing restaurant! I can't believe I've never heard of it before. How did you find it?
- My friend recommended it. She is a real urbanista. I always call her to get tips on the best places, people and shops in town.
