1. The argument in favor of adaptive policypolicy

Cities and landscapes evolve in time and spaceCities and landscapes evolve - in time and space (across scales and along the same scale)

The rational models of the 50-70s - systems theory orThe rational models of the 50 70s systems theory or participative theory they are both based on the ‘presumption of certainty’ they provide one answerpresumption of certainty - they provide one answer to the decision maker (static snapshot of time)

Historical evolution is due to theory practiceHistorical evolution is due to theory, practice, professional qualifications/numbers, computation, data constraintsconstraints

The simplified reality of static world resulting from p y goverlays of data is not enough

Today is a result of complex physical and social interactions that have in account past events and future expectationsexpectations

Pure causation is not enough and cumulative effects, ‘carrying capacity’ , self-organization, etc. play important y g p y g p y proles

Element/variable

What is complexity?

Element/variable attribute (i.e. temperature)

In terms of representing various phenomenaA – yes/noA yes/noB – only complexity(i.e. water convection cells– at the edge of “chaos”)C – yes/no (non complex phenomena)time

A and C can be dealt with other models, but CM can be very importantB can only be understood by using Complexity modelsWhy: because B represents a “transient reality” something that will become different(the trajector is not “linear” 1+2 might not be eq al to a same realit (e en if more/less(the trajectory is not “linear” 1+2=might not be equal to a same reality (even if more/less

2- ‘Wicked problems’ and the wrong “decision makers model”

Rittel and Webber’s 1973 conception of “wicked problems” to explain why conventional scientific approaches failed to solveexplain why conventional scientific approaches failed to solve problems of pluralistic urban societies. Try to confront (urban) social problems with the wrong toolsTry to confront (urban) social problems with the wrong tools
