Systems Thinking.

THE CITY IS A SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS

PURPOSE: This is not a tutorial on “systems analysis”; it is notification that systems analysis exists as a refined discipline that should be understood and used by the city-building professions.

SYSTEMS THINKING: When advising clients…policy makers and master developers…on a course of action, systems thinking or systems analysis, as a discipline, can be useful. Systems analysis is a learned skill requiring discipline, not an attitude or intuitive response to stimuli.
