Recenzii
"While books about ‘complexity science and cities’ and ‘complexity science and planning’ already exist, in-depth computer simulations and new explanatory concepts must be developed in the future to apply the finding of this research to planning practices. In fact, Shih-Kung Lai and Haoying Han have solved this issue by bringing sophisticated behavioural theories from spatial economics, management science and urban planning to the modern computational simulation laboratory.' - Yutian Liang, Sun Yat-sen University, China
’Another great book from Asia's most prominent urban complexity scholar. Learn from the elegant models and reflect on what they say about the cities we live and work in; or look beyond the models and re-think urban theory and practice.’ Chris Webster, The University of Hong Kong, China 'It opens new windows on planning and design and provides new tools that will surely be helpful for all those, theorists and practitioners, working in the broad field of urban and regional planning, and particularly in the field of Urban e-Planning'. International Journal of E-Planning Research 'The book provides many new angles for the re-examination of cities and planning simultaneously based on computer simulations'. Town Planning Review

Descriere
Based on the emergent paradigm of complexity, the book provides an innovative set of arguments about how we can gain a better understanding of how cities emerge and function through computer simulations, and how plans affect the evolution of complex urban systems in a way distinct from what we used to think they should. Empirical case studies focus on the development of a compact urban hierarchy in Taiwan, China, and the USA, but derive more generalizable principles and relationships among cities, complexity, and planning.
