Complexity & Urbanism

How different urban discourses integrate complexity in their approaches

'Complexity of cities' has become a recognized field of research, but there is no unified way of thinking about how to manage, model, or design for urban complexity. The pages of this site devoted to complexity and urbanism aim to clarify the breadth of urban inquiry engaging complexity, and how each particular discourse embraces key principles and concepts from complexity sciences in different ways.

DIY - Urbanism: A development strategy for Almere Oosterwold, titled 'Estate for Initiatives' is a revolution in Dutch urban planning as it steps away from governmental dictate and invites organic urban growth in which initiatives are stimulated and inhabitants can create their own neighbourhoods including public green, urban agriculture and roads."

Many cities around the world self-build without top-down control. What do these processes have in common with complexity?

Cities around the world are growing without the capacity for top-down control. Informal urbanism is an example of bottom-up processes that shape the city. Can these processes be harnessed in ways that make them more effective and productive?

Cities traditionally evolved over time,  shifting to meet user needs. How might complexity theory help us  emulate such processes to generate 'fit' cities?

This branch of Urban Thinking consider how the nature of the morphologic characteristics of the built environment factors into its ability to evolve over time. Here, we study the ways in which the built fabric can be designed to support incremental evolution
