  • Complexity Theories of Cities Have Come of Age

    An Overview with Implications to Urban Planning and Design

    Modifié par Juval Portugali, Han Meyer, Egbert Stolk, Ekim Tan ...
    Collections series Engineering (R0)
    Today, our cities are an embodiment of the complex, historical evolution of knowledge, desires and technology. Our planned and designed activities co-evolve with our aspirations, mediated by the existing technologies and social structures. The city represents the accretion and accumulation of successive layers of collective activity, structuring and being structured by other, increasingly distant ... En savoir plus

  • Complexity, Cognition, Urban Planning and Design

    Post-Proceedings of the 2nd Delft International Conference

    Modifié par Juval Portugali, Egbert Stolk ...
    Collections series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    This book, which resulted from an intensive discourse between experts from several disciplines – complexity theorists, cognitive scientists, philosophers, urban planners and urban designers, as well as a zoologist and a physiologist – addresses various issues regarding cities. It is a first step in responding to the challenge of generating just such a discourse, based on a dilemma identified in ... En savoir plus

  • Welcome to the Urban Revolution

    How Cities Are Changing The World

    par Jeb Brugmann ...
    In Welcome to the Urban Revolution, internationally recognized urbanist Jeb Brugmann turns traditional thinking about globalization on its head to show that the city isn't a backdrop to global change; it is a central driver of change—political, economic, social, and environmental. This powerful reappraisal of the global role of cities brilliantly synthesizes urban studies, economics, and sociology ... En savoir plus

  • Space–Time Design of the Public City

    Modifié par Dietrich Henckel, Susanne Thomaier, Benjamin Könecke, Roberto Zedda, Stefano Stabilini ...
    Collections series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Time has become an increasingly important topic in urban studies and urban planning. The spatial-temporal interplay is not only of relevance for the theory of urban development and urban politics, but also for urban planning and governance. The space-time approach focuses on the human being with its various habits and routines in the city. Understanding and taking those habits into account in ... En savoir plus

  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    par Philip Ball ...
    Collections series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological structures such as roads and computer networks – society can be regarded as a complex system. ...

  • The Seneca Effect

    Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid

    par Ugo Bardi ...
    Collections series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The essence of this book can be found in a line written by the ancient Roman Stoic Philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca: "Fortune is of sluggish growth, but ruin is rapid". This sentence summarizes the features of the phenomenon that we call "collapse," which is typically sudden and often unexpected, like the proverbial "house of cards." But why are such collapses so common, and what generates them? ... En savoir plus

  • Dynamic Systems for Everyone

    Understanding How Our World Works

    par Asish Ghosh ...
    Collections series Engineering (R0)
    This book is a study of the interactions between different types of systems, their environment, and their subsystems. The author explains how basic systems principles are applied in engineered (mechanical, electromechanical, etc.) systems and then guides the reader to understand how the same principles can be applied to social, political, economic systems, as well as in everyday life. Readers from ... En savoir plus

  • Simulating Knowledge Dynamics in Innovation Networks

    Modifié par Andreas Pyka, Petra Ahrweiler, Nigel Gilbert ...
    Collections series Business and Management (R0)
    The competitiveness of firms, regions and countries greatly depends on the generation, dissemination and application of new knowledge. Modern innovation research is challenged by the need to incorporate knowledge generation and dissemination processes into the analysis so as to disentangle the complexity of these dynamic processes. With innovation, however, strong uncertainty, nonlinearities and ... En savoir plus

  • Public Housing Myths

    Perception, Reality, and Social Policy

    Modifié par Nicholas Dagen Bloom, Fritz Umbach, Lawrence J. Vale ...
    Popular opinion holds that public housing is a failure; so what more needs to be said about seventy-five years of dashed hopes and destructive policies? Over the past decade, however, historians and social scientists have quietly exploded the common wisdom about public housing. Public Housing Myths pulls together these fresh perspectives and unexpected findings into a single volume to provide an ... En savoir plus

  • Stochastic Foundations in Movement Ecology

    Anomalous Diffusion, Front Propagation and Random Searches

    par Vicenç Méndez, Daniel Campos, Frederic Bartumeus ...
    Collections series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents the fundamental theory for non-standard diffusion problems in movement ecology. Lévy processes and anomalous diffusion have shown to be both powerful and useful tools for qualitatively and quantitatively describing a wide variety of spatial population ecological phenomena and dynamics, such as invasion fronts and search strategies.Adopting a self-contained, textbook-style ...

  • Emergent Spatio-temporal Dimensions of the City

    Habitus and Urban Rhythms

    par Fabian Neuhaus ...
    Collections series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book focuses on the creation of space as an activity. The argument draws not only on aspects of movement in time, but also on a cultural and specifically social context influencing the creation of the spatial habitus. The book reconsiders existing theories of time and space in the field of urban planning and develops an updated account of spatial activity, experience and space-making. Recent ... En savoir plus
