    • Flows of people
    • Flows of money
    • Flows of goods
  • Cities as integrated outcomes of interacting forces:

    • Economic forces
    • Social forces
    • Environmental forces
  • Urban design as a mapping language: The physical environment of a city—what pedestrians see on streets—is portrayed as the result of intentional urban design.
