Deepening the scientific debate on planning and complexity, this
Handbook combines theoretical discussion about planning and
governance with modelling complex behaviour in space and place.
Linking planning and complexity as a way of understanding dynamic
change and non-linear development within cities, it presents
critical new insights on complex urban behaviour. Building on the
notion that cities have fractal-like structures, chapters look at
their behaviour as complex adaptive systems, with co-evolving
trajectories and transformative forces. The Handbook offers new
perspectives, concepts, methods and tools for understanding the
inter-relations between complexity and planning, including:
adaptive planning, non-linear types of rationality, governance and
decision-making, and different methods of experimental learning.
Planning, complexity, urban studies and social geography scholars
will appreciate the examples of complex urban behaviour and urban
planning throughout the Handbook. This will also be an important
read for modellers in urban development, urban policy makers and
spatial planners. Contributors include: E.R. Alexander, Y. Asami,
