The Connected City (eBook, PDF)

How Networks are Shaping the Modern Metropolis

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Connected City explores how thinking about networks helps make sense of modern cities: what they are, how they work, and where they are headed. Cities and urban life can be examined as networks, and these urban networks can be examined at many different levels. This book focuses on three levels of urban networks: micro, meso, and macro.
