Description
The New Science of Cities by Michael Batty explores how cities can be understood as systems composed of flows and networks. By viewing cities not just as physical spaces, but also as complex networks of relationships between objects, Batty reveals the deep structure of how they function. Drawing on a range of disciplines including complexity sciences, social physics, urban economics, and urban geography, Batty introduces theories and methods that can be applied to understanding different aspects of city structure. He examines the size of cities, their internal order, transport routes, and locations, and presents design and decision-making models that predict interactions and flows in future cities. This book presents a new approach to understanding cities, one that emphasizes the importance of collective action in shaping urban design.
