> Title: Applied Complexity for Sustainable Landscape Planning
>
> Abstract: Conventional land-use policies tend to address a single issue,
> problem, or goal, and do so in a linear fashion. The physical design of
> places, landscapes, and structures also tends toward geometric, functional,
> and ecological simplification. The results are increasingly untenable.
> Planners, designers, and policy-makers are seeking new concepts and tools,
> looking for ways to deal with existing places as complex systems, and to
> create richer, more sustainably complex new places.
>
> Using topics from his own research and writing, Sorvig will discuss how
> linear simplification through policy causes problems, and what applied
> complexity particularly agent-based software might offer as tools for
> creating a sustainable future.
