The theory and practice of modeling cities and regions as complex, self-organizing systems, presenting widely used cellular automata-based models, theoretical discussions, and applications.
Cities and regions grow (or occasionally decline), and continuously transform themselves as they do so. This book describes the theory and practice of modeling the spatial dynamics of urban growth and transformation. As cities are complex, adaptive, self-organizing systems, the most appropriate modeling framework is one based on the theory of self-organizing systems―an approach already used in such fields as physics and ecology. The book presents a series of models, most of them developed using cellular automata (CA), which are inherently spatial and computationally efficient. It also provides discussions of the theoretical, methodological, and philosophical issues that arise from the models. A case study illustrates the use of these models in urban and regional planning. Finally, the book presents a new, dynamic theory of urban spatial structure that emerges from the models and their applications.
The models are primarily land use models, but the more advanced ones also show the dynamics of population and economic activities, and are integrated with models in other domains such as economics, demography, and transportation. The result is a rich and realistic representation of the spatial dynamics of a variety of urban phenomena. The book is unique in its coverage of both the general issues associated with complex self-organizing systems and the specifics of designing and implementing models of such systems.

圖書標籤: 城市 urban modeling city 學習 SpatialAnalysis
為CA研究Urban dynamics鋪墊復雜理論基礎,串聯作者學術生涯中的Urban models並理論化urban theory:競爭和central place;城市形態的共性fractal;城市功能的産生-moiblity、經濟活動空間分布、土地利用模式;各尺度城市模型疊加;同時模擬activity和land use。
評分Theoretically grounded in complex self-organizing systems. Methodologically resorted to CA-based models for simulating land use and land cover changes. It should be perceived more than a toolkit. 開頭理論部分講得很清楚,而結尾處呼喚 evolutionary epistemology 更是接近復雜係統本源瞭。
