Decentralization as Organizing Principle of Emergent Urban Structures — •Rainer Zimmermann — IAG Philosophische Grundlagenprobleme, FB 1, Nora-Platiel-Str.1, 34127 Kassel

With reference to the ongoing Bologna project (cf. www.arXiv.org section: nlin-AO/0109025) general organizing principles of emergent structures in social systems are being discussed with a view to the meaning of decentralization. It is proposed to introduce decentralization as a principle for organizing emergent structures in a generic way utilizing aspects of the insight gained by the Santa Fe school dealing with self- organized criticality.
