Synergetic Cities: Information, Steady State and Phase Transition

Focusing on the intricate dynamics of urban environments, this book introduces a unique framework that combines synergetics, information theory, and optimization principles. It explores how cities achieve cooperation and self-organization while maintaining a steady state and undergoing phase transitions, which signify significant structural or behavioral changes. This interdisciplinary approach provides fresh insights into urban studies, emphasizing the interplay between various scientific concepts and their application to city dynamics.
