Abstract
This chapter will illustrate how Adaptive Cycles and Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) can be applied to allow us to gain better understanding of our cities and how our ability to innovate can allows us to introduce disturbance into specific urban systems that could promote more resilient and more sustainable futures.
