===Complexity of cities===
Jane Jacobs described cities as being a problem in organized complexity in 1961, citing Dr. Weaver's 1948 essay.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jacobs |first1=Jane |title=The Death and Life of Great American Cities |date=1961 |publisher=Vintage Books |location=New York |pages=428–448}}</ref> As an example, she explains how an abundance of factors interplay into how various urban spaces lead to a diversity of interactions, and how changing those factors can change how the space is used, and how well the space supports the functions of the city. She further illustrates how cities have been severely damaged when approached as a problem in simplicity by replacing organized complexity with simple and predictable spaces, such as Le Corbusier's "Radiant City" and Ebenezer Howard's "Garden City". Since then, others have written at length on the complexity of cities.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cities, scaling, & sustainability |url=https://www.santafe.edu/research/projects/cities-scaling-sustainability |publisher=Santa Fe Institute |access-date=28 October 2023}}</ref>
