Correlates of natural and urban systems
Conclusions We have argued above for a systems view of the city. In particular we have asked that the city be looked at as a particular kind of system: a natural system. By taking this view many of the advances made by systems ecologists in studying more limited ecosystems become available to us. The ecological perspective in urban studies is not new. We feel, though, that previous work has looked at but a few of the important and analogous concepts in natural science. The most critical omission of earlier work has been in the area of stability and complexity. We have tried to define these concepts as finely as is meaningful and to illustrate them and their application to the urban scene. If there is one single conclusion or point upon which we would like to close, it is this: Complexity must be a planning parameter. The intricacy and complexity of urban systems must be preserved and not diminished. It is entirely likely that in the future the maintenance of complexity in the urban ecosystem will be an important planning criterion.
