Urban Complexity

Urban complexity refers to the intricate web of interactions and relationships within a city’s social, economic, and physical systems. It encompasses how people, infrastructure, businesses, and natural environments come together and influence each other. This complexity arises from diverse populations, varying lifestyles, and the challenges of urban planning, such as traffic, housing, and environmental sustainability. Understanding urban complexity helps policymakers and city planners create more resilient and livable cities by recognizing how changes in one area can impact the whole system, ultimately improving urban quality of life.
