Welcome to The Chaotic, Fractal and Complex City

This blog focuses on urbanism, urban planning, urban geography within the context of complexity theory and complex systems including the topics of chaos, fractal analysis, agent-based modeling, cellular automation and the metaphoric use of complexity theory within urbanism. Although this is the focus of this blog, I may insert other topics within the general framework of urbanism. Often, I use this blog to introduce ideas that later are turned into papers either to be published in journals or presented at conferences. If you are interested in being a guest blogger, please contact me.
