چکیده
In light of the recently published book Complexity 5 Questions, edited by Carlos Gershenson, I discuss some of the Complexity theories (includingmy own field “Synergetics”)with respect to their applicability to cities. This book,with contributions by 24 leading scientists, shows that there is no general consensus on “Complexity”. Nevertheless, I believe that there is some common ground for an approach to what one might call a “theory of a city”, even if it remains an open ended story.

متن کاملPattern-oriented modeling of agent-based complex systems: lessons from ecology.
Agent-based complex systems are dynamic networks of many interacting agents; examples include ecosystems, financial markets, and cities. The search for general principles underlying the internal organization of such systems often uses bottom-up simulation models such as cellular automata and agent-based models. No general framework for designing, testing, and analyzing bottom-up models has yet ...
