real-world city systems, and disillusionment with
this rational planning view has taken hold. Yet the
thrust of the ideas and examples set out here
suggests that this has been only a temporary
setback, and that the applied modelling and
simulation environment of GIS is today providing
a renewed stimulus to the applied analysis of urban
systems.
