Self-Organization and the City

by Juval Portugali, H. Haken (Foreword), I. Benenson (Assistant)

This book integrates the theories of complex self-organizing systems with the rich body of discourse and literature developed in what might be called ‘social theory of cities and urbanism’. It uses techniques from dynamical complexity and synergetics to successfully tackle open social science questions.
