Features: This book introduces the theory of self-organization and analyzes the development and evolution of urban complex systems, establishing a self-organizing perspective on urban development. For urban spatial systems, it examines the intrinsic mechanisms of urban spatial development from the perspective of spatial organization, and conducts an in-depth analysis of urban spatial self-organization through two main lines: process research and systematic analysis. Through empirical studies on the self-organization of urban spatial development in Shenzhen and Wuhan, the book points out that the rapid and healthy development of urban space and the effectiveness of urban planning control lie in the combination of free self-organization and organizational alignment. Based on theoretical and empirical research, this book provides ideas and methods based on self-organization to improve and innovate the operational system and compilation methods of urban master planning in China. This book is suitable for reference by urban planning, urban construction, and urban management personnel, as well as for students and teachers of urban planning-related majors in higher education institutions.
