Prof Geoffrey West: Scale - The Complex Science of Cities 

The is the full lecture of "Scale: The Complex Science of Cities" on 12 March 2018, by Prof Geoffrey West, Distinguished Professor; Former President, Santa Fe Institute; Associate Fellow, Green-Templeton College, Oxford University, Nanyang Technological University.
Is it possible to develop quantitative and predictive Science of cities, to answer the challenges that cities face as a result of rapid urbanisation?
Professor Geoffrey West, explores statistical trends in biology and in cities. Complexity science, calls for a more integrated and inter-disciplinary approach to study the complex urban systems and scientifically derive principals governing the interconnected components. Research in this area will add value to our understanding of cities enabling better decision making.
