“Cities are no longer regarded as being disordered systems. Beneath the apparent chaos and diversity of physical form, there is strong order and a pattern that emerges from the myriad of decisions and processes required for a city to develop and expand physically.” Michael Batty

Seems like work on I-O and supply chains in & between cities & regions has stalled but paper by Dogna at al. in NPJ Urban Sustainability takes it forward. Builds on Hidalgo, Hausmann, Pietronero work https://t.co/apL4e1ul54 and commentary https://t.co/TEBK7onNqH

Cities are growing as much by merging as by sprawling or growing into the third dimension. With James Cheshire, we paint a picture of what the world might look like as it heads towards one big ‘city’, see The Conversation, https://t.co/ViNKLq4dqG
