Modeling cities and regions as complex systems : from theory to planning applications /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

"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 systems, the most appropriat...
