Synopsis
Recent developments in the field of urban analysis and management are investigated in this book. It is a wide-ranging collection of essays on the subject drawn from a long-term project and seminar, held in Italy, to review the state of the art and speculate on the future influence on the "sciences of the city" of the complexity concept. Of particular interest is the variety of points of view, often contrasting, and the attempt to go beyond the conventional approaches to the analysis, and the planning of the city. While focussing mainly on the European (and in particular Italian) context, the discussion is of general relevance and valuable to anyone concerned with the prospects for the city in the new millenium.

Review
"The City and Its Sciences" is a bold effort that responds to the critical need for reevaluation of quantitative urban research. It provides a forum for the exchange of views on the complexity paradigm and the models and approaches needed to analyze complex urban systems. I highly recommend the book to regional scientists, urban planners, and urbanists in general." Papers in Regional Science, Vol. 78/2
