This second volume of Understanding Complex Urban\nSystems focuses on the challenges of the modeling tools, concerning, e.g., the\nquality and quantity of data and the selection of an appropriate modeling\napproach. It is meant to support urban decision-makers—including municipal\npoliticians, spatial planners, and citizen groups—in choosing an appropriate\nmodeling approach for their particular modeling requirements. The contributors\nto this volume are from different disciplines, but all share the same goal:\noptimizing the representation of complex urban systems. They present and\ndiscuss a variety of approaches for dealing with data-availability problems and\nfinding appropriate modeling approaches—and not only in terms of computer\nmodeling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe selection of articles featured in this volume reflect\na broad variety of new and established modeling approaches such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- An argument for using Big Data methods in\nconjunction with Agent-based Modeling;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- The introduction of a participatory approach\ninvolving citizens, in order to utilize an Agent-based Modeling approach to\nsimulate urban-growth scenarios;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- A presentation of semantic modeling to enable a\nflexible application of modeling methods and a flexible exchange of data;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- An article about a nested-systems approach to\nanalyzing a city’s interdependent subsystems (according to these subsystems’\ndifferent velocities of change);\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- An article about methods that use Luhmann’s system\ntheory to characterize cities as systems that are composed of flows;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- An article that demonstrates how the Sen-Nussbaum\nCapabilities Approach can be used in urban systems to measure household well-being\nshifts that occur in response to the resettlement of urban households;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- A final article that illustrates how Adaptive Cycles\nof Complex Adaptive Systems, as well as innovation, can be applied to gain a\nbetter understanding of cities and to promote more resilient and more\nsustainable urban futures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-05-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319807409\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-30178-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 136\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382488260748,"sku":"9783319807409","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319807409.jpg?v=1774496614","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319807409","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
