Complex spatial systems
the modelling foundations of urban and regional analysis
"Urban and regional analysis is presented as one of the great social science challenges of the century. A number of perspectives are drawn together for the first time: a comprehensive systems perspective, an interdisciplinary approach, a comprehensive review of the classical modelling approaches, a dynamic mathematical modelling paradigm to provide foundations, a powerful set of tools for model building and problem solving, connections to complexity theory, and a future research agenda."--BOOK JACKET.
