Just out of curiosity: As a Dutch citizen I am very familiar with the "Woonerf" element, but how did this Dutch concept/word end up in the green infrastructure Wiki?

hi mark, thanks for advice. we'll press on slowly but surely in english but adopt foreign words where they are useful and specific, like woonerf. to that end, should we come up with something like winkelcentrum (what a cool word! brice, we should totally use that around the office hehe) as a new GI element. the closest i can think of in english is "pedestrian mall" which was a common feature in the 1970s, but doesn't seem to be as popular these days. or does winkelcentrum refer to any kind of shopping center, in which case it probably isn't specific enough to be a GI element?
