A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH ON RISING COMPLEXITIES IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS

The paper highlights the need for an integrated approach in urban planning. Overall, economical, political, societal, and many more issues have to be dealt with in the urban decision processes. It is evident to handle both, various influential factors and the interrelation between these factors. Urban stakeholders - politicians, city planners, managers, institutions/organizations - are especially affected by these conditions. This paper presents the sensitivity analysis as a tool that enables the integration of qualitative and quantitative data, the derivation of alternative scenarios, and the development of consistent and plausible implications.
