http://yuriartibise.com The dramatic growth in terms ending with ‘urbanism' is one of the pervasive trends in contemporary urban studies. It seems like every urban thinker has come up with his or her own urbanism. Some of the urbanisms are fanciful and esoteric; others are basic and rudimentary. In writing this book, I’ve learned a lot more about some popular urbanisms (new urbanism, landscape urbanism); been able to focus on some of my favorites (adaptive urbanism and open-source urbanism); and perhaps even coined a new urbanism or two (yuppie urbanism and Zipcar urbanism).
