Abstract
In this chapter, we apply many of the ideas and methods introduced in Chapters 1 to 5 to a series of provocative case studies in socio-spatial change. The case studies have been selected to highlight key matters in socio-spatial complexity and ways in which knowledge might be organized to help adapt to the considerable challenges of these changes. The case studies are arranged to represent micro-, meso- and exo-levels of ecological complexity. Specifically, the case studies are micro-level interactions of a slum sanitation system, the meso-level interactions of remotely managed chronic illness care services, and the exo-level interactions of urbanization within the Arctic Circle as a result of climate change. The case studies are each hypothetical but based on current or prospective issues. The chapter considers each of these cases in terms of game-theory pay-offs, system dynamics and social dynamics, and combinatory approaches to decision-making.
