城市系统模型与生态系统模型在形式上有相似之处。对这两种模型进行了系统的探讨，并给出了一个包含这两种模型的通用模型公式。通过在城市建模中使用生态系统建模的思想，获得了一些见解。然而，最大的收获是生态系统建模。研究表明，城市技术可以用来以新颖的方式将空间竞争效应融入到这类模型中，从而有效地解释复杂的动态。城市系统在过去对复杂性理论做出了重大贡献--因为它们足够复杂，令人感兴趣，但又足够简单，足以解决问题。这些洞察力现在可以转移到复杂的(空间)生态系统。探讨了联合生态城市模式的可能性。
There are similarities of form between urban system models and models of ecosystems. These are systematically explored and a general model formulation which embraces both kinds of model is presented. Some insights are gained by using ideas from ecosystem modelling in urban modelling. The biggest gains, however, are for ecosystem modelling. It is demonstrated that urban techniques can be used for incorporating spatial competition effects into such models in novel ways, and that the complex dynamics can then be effectively interpreted. Urban systems have contributed significantly to complexity theory in the past—because they are complicated enough to be interesting but simple enough to be solvable. These insights can now be transferred to complex (spatial) ecosystems. The possibility of joint eco-urban models is explored.
