Description
  • A conceptual paper that strives to extend systemic thinking into the field of urban and territorial planning. It is focused on explanation of the evolution of urban and territorial structures. Because of utilization of the concepts of systems theory, it could be used also for modeling complex urban systems. In approaching a “flow theory of cities”, there is, largely in Luhmannian terms, delineated a self-referential system of flows, whose constitutive difference is whether certain part of space is assigned for movement or not. This system is in place for the sake of sustenance of human bodies and for operation of social systems. It exists because systems that produce the flows exist. The flows emerge because systems are spatially dispersed. And the system of flows differentiate itself due to the differentitation of other systems and also due to its own differentiation. There are distinguished two types of flows: sustaining flows that keeps the matter-processing systems going and communicating flows that keeps the meaning-processing systems operating. Within the flows we differentiate several dimensions: direction, composition, intensity and character. System of flows operates by relating and directing the flows in all their dimensions. With rising population and increasing social and spatial differentiation, there rises also the complexity of the system of flows that the system needs to handle – and strives to reduce it. Such reduction leads to the emergence of channels (main roads) and of centres. We can conceptually distingush centres from cities: while centres emerge out of the operation of the system of flows and especially due to the complexity-reducing operations with positive feedback, cities are results of second order operations and of negative feedback: they are results of observations that are assembled, assessed and reinserted back into the organization of space and of flows in a form of urban plan.
