From fast to slow processes in the evolution of urban and regional settlement structures

From fast to slow processes in the evolution of urban and regional settlement structures

Complex systems consist of many intertwined organizational levels starting from micro-structures and ending with macrostructures. Their evolution takes place on different time scales: Micropatterns exhibit a fast dynamics whereas macropatterns develop slowly. Urban and regional science can make use...
