The
importance of a robust, comprehensive Vocabulary
to facilitate understanding human settlement
patterns is documented in Chapter 3 of The
Shape of the Future and reinforced
throughout the text. To support the evolution of a
comprehensive Vocabulary, The Shape of the
Future includes two appendices: APPENDIX
ONE - LEXICON and APPENDIX TWO -
CORE CONFUSING WORDS.
In
the seven years since the publication of The
Shape of the Future, the overall structure
of the New Urban Region Conceptual Framework and
the majority of the words and phrases used to
articulate this framework has not changed.
However, the Vocabulary has continued to evolve
and be refined.
-
Many
words are now capitalized when they were not
in the first publishing of The Shape of the Future. Capitalization
is used to indicate that a specific meaning is
intended by words such as in “Region,”
“Community,” “Village,”
“Neighborhood” and “Cluster” and other
key words and phrases.
A
primary reason for many of the refinements and
additions was the creation of the first edition of
HANDBOOK: Three Step Process to Create
Balanced Communities and Sustainable New Urban
Regions published in 2001. HANDBOOK
is Part II of ACTION PROGRAMS which
is Book Three of TRILO-G. HANDBOOK
is, as the subtitle suggests, a manual to be used
to help citizens create Balanced Communities.
During the drafting and editing of the first
edition of HANDBOOK, it was found
that a number of words and phrases needed to be
sharpened and even more had to be added to
accomplish the goals of the Three Step
Process.
TRILO-G
is organized so that the latest refinements in
Vocabulary can be found in Section IV. Glossary of
HANDBOOK. This Glossary will be
continually revised and updated as necessary. The
following lists of words and phrases will assist
in making the transition from the Vocabulary
originally introduced in The Shape of the
Future to the one employed throughout the
other two books that comprise TRILO-G.

Words and phrases clarified or modified since the
publication of The Shape of the Future are

Use of the following words and phases are avoided
per APPENDIX TWO - CORE CONFUSING WORDS.
City

Local
Rural
Sprawl
Suburb
/ Suburban
In
addition to the words listed in APPENDIX
TWO-CORE CONFUSING WORDS, use of the word
“family” is avoided whenever possible for
reasons that will be noted in GLOSSARY -
Section IV. of HANDBOOK. When this
word is used, it is employed in such a way as to
clearly identify the meaning.
Although
“Community”, “Neighborhood”, “Organic”
and “Urban” are discussed in APPENDIX
TWO - CORE CONFUSING WORDS they are also
used in TRILO-G - usually capitalized - because no
better substitute has been found. In the case of
“family,” the word “Household” is used as
a replacement in the discussion of human
settlement pattern.
