First published in 1970, this groundbreaking investigation into
Entropy in Urban and Regional Modelling provides an extensive and
detailed insight into the entropy maximising method in the
development of a whole class of urban and regional models. The book
has its origins in work being carried out by the author in 1966,
when he realised that the well-known gravity model could be derived
on the basis of an analogy with statistical, rather than Newtonian,
mechanics. Subsequent investigation demonstrated that the entropy
maximising method stems from an even higher level of generality,
and the beginning of the book is devoted to an account of its
importance and use as a general modelling tool. This reissue will
be welcomed by a range of students and professionals from fields as
diverse as urban and regional studies, economics, geography,
planning, civil engineering, mathematics and statistics.
