Abstract

Urban system is comprised of different attributes. The possibility of variation in the characteristics of these attributes cannot be ignored. In addition, human component is significant in shaping the characteristics of it. It has dynamic characteristics and difficult to measure the cognitive characteristics of it. Furthermore, their characteristics may vary with the context. Consequently, there is a huge likelihood that it may act as a bias in shaping the behavior of a city. In addition, the way different attributes interact with each other hugely influences a city. This chapter explains the meaning of complexity in the context of urban sciences. It also provides detail about the possibility of containing randomness and inconsistency using complexity analysis of urban systems. Having read this chapter, the readers will certainly develop a strong understanding about the complexity analysis. And it would help them to implement the learning in the investigations related to urban systems.
