In the evolving discourse of urbanism, the rise of near-synonyms in architecture, urban planning, and urban design has sparked scholarly debate. While this linguistic diversity can enrich our understanding, it often leads to confusion and imprecision, impacting the clarity of academic communication. It’s time to untangle these synonymous terms, ensuring each one contributes meaningfully to advancing the field. Excited to share that our new manuscript, 'Navigating the Semantic Maze: Exploring Near-Synonyms in the Theoretical Discourse on Urbanism,' is now out! Access one of the free 50 copies here: https://lnkd.in/dvN4KyRE Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback as we continue to push the boundaries of urban studies!
