  • Abstract
    The generalized information entropy (GIE) has been introduced to describe complex interactions among agents in complex urban system (CUS). Basing on maximum generalized information entropy principle (MGIEP), a dynamic model and detailed simulations that can reveal agents´ interactions and evolutionary mechanism of complex urban patterns are then proposed. Urban evolutionary pattern analyses of Shanghai City in China are conducted as a typical application. It is confident that the present framework can provide a brand new approach to investigate general CUS.
