Overview
This work provides a clear, methodological and philosophical introduction to complexity theory as applied to urban and regional systems and includes a detailed series of modelling case studies. Based on the complex systems thinking, mathematical models are developed which attempt to simulate the evolution of towns, cities and regions and the complicated co-evolutionary interaction there is both between and within them.

Reviews
Peter Allen's highly original - and in many senses unique - work on urban and regional modelling over a number of years has acquired a reputable following. Allen's writing is clear...and technicalities are explained so that the reader can grasp the important points intuitively, in case details elude....It is intended for urban and regional planners of an analytical bent and graduate and under graduate students in planning, geography, and spatial modeling, but would also benefit professionals involved in linking geographic information and decision support systems. - Journal of American Planning Association
