Introduction: Towards a Transdisciplinary Understanding of Complex Urban Systems
While complex systems research has rapidly advanced over the past decades, the planning disciplines are still at an early stage of devising new methods and instruments informed by complexity science. In order to see cities in a new way, to recognize ongoing processes, and to understand effects of interventions, the practice of planning and urban development is in need of transdisciplinary approaches to observing and understanding complex urban systems. It is time now, we believe, to review the various approaches offered by different disciplines and to start discussing in what way they can be regarded as complementary—or can even be integrated—in order to better understand complex urban systems.
