A SYNERGETIC APPROACH TO THE THEORIES OF CITY
Synergetics is a contemporary actively developing area in scientific researches. One of its aims is to reveal latent laws of order and chaos, emergence and evolution of different systems. Synergetics relies on methods which can be equally applicable in various domains enabling it to be treated as an «interdisciplinary language». The article considers the possibility of applying the laws of synergetics to the theory of urban development in order to expand the capabilities of the prediction of urban development, as well as the impacts on the city structure. The main principle of synergetics that is important for the aims of urban planning is the principle of strategic management from the future.
