Metropolitan Glossary is one of the fundamentals of the TELLme project. Together with the Metropolitan Existing Situation Analysis (MESA), and General Issues and Principles (MGIP) it makes the basis of building the complexity of Metropolitan Discipline. need of a glossary for the metropolitan discipline emerged from the long experiences of the HEI partners working in the multidisciplinary environment of metropolitan context. A clear set of definition describing various concepts of the new subject is fundamental for easy communication not only amongst the different fields in the academy but also with the practitioners. Every sector has its own terminologies defined within the circle and there is a limit in using the terms without reaching an agreement on the meanings of the vocabulary used in the discussion. However, multidisciplinary approach does not require individuals to be professional in all required fields; It rather needs various professionals to understand that priorities are set different when coming from a different discipline. While encouraged to think out of their own box, it is important to have some inside views in other boxes to reach a holistic conclusion. Glossary serves as the basis in understanding the different perspectives from various fields and topics.
