Santa Fe, Complexity, Cities

Posted on Wednesday 11 July 2012 by Michael Batty

The Mathematical Puzzle That Is the Complexity of the City: An interesting article in the Atlantic Cities pages by Samuel Arbesman on how we are developing this science of cities – a prelude the workshop at Santa Fe this week (July 12^th-14^th) which unfortunately I cannot attend but at which Elsa Arcaute from CASA is presenting our work on scaling. The program is on the Santa Fe web site and I have posted my own contribution to be given by Skype here: click to access the pdf.
