Modeling Cities and Regions as Complex Systems: From Theory to Planning Applications

by Roger White, Guy Engelen, Inge Uljee, et al.

The theory and practice of modeling cities and regions as complex, self-organizing systems, presenting widely used cellular automata-based models, theoretical discussions, and applications.

Cities and regions grow (or occasionally decline), and continuously transform themselves as they do so. This book describes the theory and practice of modeling the spatial dynamics of urban growth and transformation. As cities are complex, adaptive, self-organizing...
