This chapter explores the significance of negative feedback in urban planning and mechanics, focusing on its contribution to system stability. It highlights how these mechanisms are applied in traffic management to correct trends and maintain city equilibrium amidst changing conditions.
In this episode, we’re joined by Michael Batty, Bartlett Professor of Planning at University College London and Chair of the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, to discuss the evolution of city planning and the shift away from traditional mechanical views.
In today’s episode, Michael lays the groundwork for understanding cities that will be essential for part two of this conversation.
