"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.
