    Crowds, Congestion and Extreme Events

    Posted on Saturday 16 June 2012 by Michael Batty

    My talk at CPGIS this morning is about how we might use all our new flow data to build new models to explore how city systems fail. This is more a talk about what we would like to do, rather … Continue reading →

    The Quest for the Qualitative

    Posted on Wednesday 23 November 2011 by Michael Batty

    Notwithstanding Rutherford’s quote “Qualitative is nothing but poor quantitative”, my old article (1982, but rediscovered! on the web) may have contemporary resonance if not relevance. How to think about discontinuities in social systems in terms of catastrophe theory: riots and … Continue reading →
