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."--$$cProvided by publisher. 001387764 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001387764 650_0 $$aCity planning. 001387764 650_0 $$aRegional planning. 001387764 653__ $$aURBANISM/General 001387764 653__ $$aARCHITECTURE/Urban Design 001387764 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001387764 7001_ $$aEngelen, Guy,$$eauthor. 001387764 7001_ $$aUljee, Inge,$$eeditor. 001387764 852__ $$bebk 001387764 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9780262029568.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001387764 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001387764 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1387764$$pGLOBAL_SET 001387764 980__ $$aBIB 001387764 980__ $$aEBOOK 001387764 982__ $$aEbook 001387764 983__ $$aOnline
