title = {Urban Modelling: Quantitative and Qualitative Approaches},
year = {2022},
note = {Jochen Gönsch and Jens Martin Gurr focus on the role of models in
understanding and managing urban complexity. A primer on quantitative
models from the operations research community shows their advantages
and disadvantages. By contrast, from the perspective of literary urban
studies, texts are discussed as qualitative models, and a novel on
spatial and temporal layers in the Ruhr region serves as a case study
on modelling complexities in a literary text. Finally, the role of
models in both approaches is compared. The essay thus highlights
intersections, transfers and complementarities between quantitative
and qualitative models.},
