Springer Series in Synergetics3-030-63456-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Cities as hybrid complex systems -- Synergetics: A short reminder -- SIRN, IA and their conjunction (SIRNIA) -- Formalism I. Bottom-up approach: From parts to order parameters -- Steady states and the city -- Phase transitions -- Phase transitions and the city -- Smart cities -- Cognitive planning and professional planning -- Conclusions.The book offers a novel approach to the study of the complex dynamics of cities. It is based on (1) Synergetics as a science of cooperation and selforganization, (2) information theory including semantic and pragmatic aspects, and optimization principles, (3) a theory of steady state maintenance, and of (4) phase transition, i.e. qualitative changes of structure or behavior. From this novel theoretical vantage point, the book addresses particularly three issues that stand at the core of current discourse on cities: Urban Scaling, Smart Cities and City Planning. An important consequence of “the 21st century as the age of cities”, is that the study of cities currently attracts scientists from a variety of disciplines, ranging from physics, mathematics and computer science, through urban studies, architecture, planning and human geography, to economics, psychology, sociology, public administration and more. The book is thus likely to attract scholars, researchers and students of these research domains, of complexity theories of cities, as well as of general complexity theory. In addition, it is directed also to practitioners of urbanism, city planning and urban design.Springer series in synergetics.Transportation engineeringTraffic engineeringComputational complexityTransportation engineering.Traffic engineering.Computational complexity.629.04Haken H.17714Portugali JuvalMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910484819703321Synergetic cities2848986UNINA
