Contents:
Complexity, Evolution, and Simplicity in Space -- Simplicity in Complex Spatial Systems -- The “Thermodynamics” of the City -- Macro and Micro Dynamics of the City Size Distribution -- A Morphogenetic Perspective on Spatial Complexity -- Algorithmic Complexity and Spatial Simplicity -- Polyplexity -- Evolutionary Networks in a Socio-Economic Context -- Complexity, Evolution and Learning -- Homophily, Conformity, and Noise in the (Co-)Evolution of Complex Social Networks -- Complex Evolution and Learning -- Proximity, Social Capital and the Simon Model of Stochastic Growth -- Evolutionary and Preferential Attachment Models of Demand Growth -- Modelling the Economy as an Evolving Space of Flows -- Empirical Aspects of Network Complexity in the Space-Economy -- Effects of a Simple Mode Choice Model in a Large-Scale Agent-Based Transport Simulation -- Complex, Adaptive Systems, Through Time and Across Space -- Measuring and Visualizing Urban Network Dynamics -- Spatial Autocorrelation in Spatial Interaction -- Complex Networks Analysis of Commuting -- Spatial and Commuting Networks -- Epilogue -- From Complexity to Simplicity.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This book offers a panoramic view of recent advances in spatial complexity, in order to enhance our understanding of complex spatial networks by simplicity in terms of both the basic driving forces of systemic impacts and the modelling of such systems. Simple models mapping out the evolution of complex networks are undoubtedly a key issue in spatial economic research. In exploring this untrodden ground, this volume pursues new interdisciplinary pathways for theoretical, methodological and empirical analysis in the complex interconnected space-economy. It highlights ‘evolutionary’ directions and ‘unifying’ perspectives in this fascinating research field.
