City components refer to the smaller elements which make up the fabric of a city like buildings, roads, inhabitants, cars etc. Lower-level activities refer to the interaction between these components, and define the consequential feedback into the city as a whole. An understanding of these aspects of emergence allows for the identification of tools and guidelines which, in turn, forms the basis for design and building performance criteria.© University of Pretoria 2007 C60Self-organizing systemsMovementBoundariesPrinsloo streetBloed streetTshwaneEmergenceMulti-functionUCTDDissertationhttp://upetd.up.ac.za/thesis/available/etd-11162007-152819/
