Understanding Complex Urban Systems takes as its point of departure
the insight that the challenges of global urbanization and the
complexity of urban systems cannot be understood - let alone
'managed' - by sectoral and disciplinary approaches alone. But
while there has recently been significant progress in broadening
and refining the methodologies for the quantitative modeling of
complex urban systems, in deepening the theoretical understanding
of cities as complex systems, or in illuminating the implications
for urban planning, there is still a lack of well-founded
conceptual thinking on the methodological foundations and the
strategies of modeling urban complexity across the disciplines.
Bringing together experts from the fields of urban and spatial
planning, ecology, urban geography, real estate analysis,
organizational cybernetics, stochastic optimization, and literary
studies, as well as specialists in various systems approaches and
in transdisciplinary methodologies of urban analysis, the volume
seeks to advance the discussion on multidisciplinary approaches to
urban modeling. While engaging with the 'state of the art' in their
respective fields, the contributions are specifically written for
both experts from a broad range of disciplines as well as for urban
practitioners who feel the need for new approaches given the
uncertainty of current developments.
