精彩摘录
  • "It is high time we changed our focus from locations to interactions, from thingking of cities simply as idealized morphologies to thinking of them as patterns of communication, interaction, trade ad exchange; in short, to thinking of them as networks."

复杂科学,网络科学,运用于城市
城市的本质是经济agglomeration,生产surplus通过的decentralized的网络distribute。因此研究城市核心是研究spatial interaction,在将其与其实现的基础-网络相结合。flow,spatial interaction+network得到Urban scaling。跟bettencourt的urban scaling理论相似。全书框架有,内容还是不够明晰,说明complexity的研究现状和前景|||
为城市间field/flow/network的关系建立了一套框架,如果我还想做social ecological system,或者会参考其中一些model(但问题在于这本着重关注城市“形态”…且参数统计问题鲜少涉及
我认罪,我越过了所有数学模型
A fundamental theory for urban modelling
已经记不得了,很难啃的一本书
