Bologna Revisited — •Rainer E. Zimmermann — a,b

The following paper is on the emergence of observable complexity in urban networks visualized as product of essentially non-observable social processes. The methodology unfolded here draws on recent insight of econophysics in the strict sense under a top-down perspective of laying the foundations for a modern view to the evolution of dynamical structures in nature. The basic result of the present paper is to demonstrate the interaction of networks on the microlevels and macrolevels of the historical centre of the city of Bologna visualized as an emergent computational urban system, respectively.
