Abstract
The aim of this paper is to question the fitness of our state-of-the-art urban planning and urban systems to adapt to continuous changes and disturbances in operating environment. We argue that in an attempt to help cities adapt to uncertain futures, strategic planning should be better informed by the epistemology of complex adaptive systems and better recognise recursive emergent processes between urban metabolism and morphology.
