It is an attempt to debate the link between (i) the recent vision which incorporates the complexity theory to understand and plan the city; (ii) the limitations, and possibilities of thought and intervention using complex systems due to new urban planning interpretation in a defying urban environment, and, (iii) the challenges to urban planning teaching revision in graduate architecture schools and a need for new methodologies and approaches to doing that.
