Riassunto

This book contains the contributions presented at the international workshop "The Dynamics of Complex Urban Systems: an interdisciplinary approach" held in Ascona, Switzerland in November 2004. Experts from several disciplines outline a conceptual framework for modeling and forecasting the dynamics of both growth-limited cities and megacities. Coverage reflects the various interdependencies between structural and social development.

Recensione:

From the reviews: “‘The Dynamics of Complex Urban Systems’ is about ... new kind of science, and how we might use it to improve our understanding of urban growth and change. ... the collection is an excellent combination of model-oriented discussions, relevant data issues and various case studies involving interactions with urban planners. ... it provides a collection of starting points for researchers who are seriously interested in applying some of the toolkit of complex systems science to study the possible evolution of urban form.” (David F. Batten, Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 87 (4), November, 2008)
