Introduction to Urban Complexity

Modern times have been characterised by dramatic rates of urbanisation, with more than 50% of the world’s population living in cities. Although this has led to an increased potential for productivity and boosted the global economy, socio-economic and structural challenges are experienced at the same time. The field of urban complexity provides for the exploration and increased understanding of complex urban systems and their interaction, through the application of mathematical methodologies and modelling techniques, which allows for the potential to make cities more resilient, sustainable and efficient places to live in. In this webinar, we are met with Christopher Scott Dempwolf who is an Assistant Research Professor in the Urban Studies and Planning Program at the University of Maryland, and Director of the UMD – Morgan State Center for Economic Development. We will seek to introduce the concept of urban complexity to those who are new to the field, discuss its characteristics, present examples of related studies and consider the future direction of this field. ------------------- If you'd like to dig deeper into urban complexity or complexity in general.
