Abstract

Social complexity takes place in spaces. These can be geographical - think cities - but also abstract and imaginary, such as virtual networks and attractor spaces through which cases move. The spatial dimension of social complexity is extremely important because it shapes said complexity, and provides the space where this complexity plays out. As some scholars discussed here stress: there is no pressing reason to separate time, space and geographical location. We follow their recommendation and survey all of this in this chapter. We discuss the many types of spaces that provide the stage for social complexity: cities, networks, time-space continuums, and more. Along the way, we discuss urban complexity, the modelling and simulation of spaces, and - importantly - the planning of spaces.
