Synergetic Cities: Information, Steady State and Phase Transition

Focusing on urban dynamics, this book presents a unique framework incorporating Synergetics, which examines cooperation and self-organization in cities. It intertwines information theory's semantic and pragmatic elements with optimization principles, while also addressing steady state maintenance and phase transitions to explore qualitative changes in urban structures and behaviors. This interdisciplinary approach provides fresh insights into the complexities of city life and development.
