The Role of Self-Organization in Urban Planning and Design -- Fractality of Cities -- Entropy and the City: Origins, Trajectories and Explorations of the Concept in Urban Science -- An Introduction to Mathematical Concepts of Power-laws in Cities and Urban Systems.This book brings together key findings, insights, and theories at the intersection of two disciplines – city science and complex systems. It features a curated collection of chapters contributed by emerging scholars conducting cutting-edge research in complexity science, interdisciplinary physics, and quantitative geography. The compendium is tailored to a thematically diverse audience, spanning quantitative fields such as statistical and mathematical physics, as well as socially-focused domains like geography and urban planning. By integrating novel methods and insights from physics, economics, and geography, this book appeals to an interdisciplinary spectrum of graduate students and academic researchers studying cities as complex systems.Understanding Complex Systems,1860-0840System theoryGeographic information systemsMathematicsSocial sciencesStatistical physicsUrban policyComplex SystemsGeographical Information SystemMathematics in the Humanities and Social SciencesStatistical PhysicsUrban PolicySystem theory.Geographic information systems.Mathematics.Social sciences.Statistical physics.Urban policy.Complex Systems.Geographical Information System.Mathematics in the Humanities and Social Sciences.Statistical Physics.Urban Policy.530.1Rybski Diego1828675MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911010526403321Compendium of Urban Complexity4397602UNINA
