✦ Synopsis

Analyzes the complexity and uncertainty in infrastructure planning
Provides general information on the concepts of uncertainty and risk in this context
Showcases best practices and international case studies from the business sector

This book examines in detail the planning and modelling of local infrastructure like energy systems, including the complexities resulting from various uncertainties. Readers will discover the individual steps involved in infrastructure planning in cities and territories, as well as the primary requirements and supporting quality factors. Further topics covered concern the field of uncertainty and its synergies with infrastructure planning. Theories, methodological backgrounds and concrete case studies will not only help readers to understand the proposed methodologies for modelling and uncertainty analysis, but will also show them how these approaches are implemented in practice.

Topics
Operation Research / Decision Theory
Energy Systems
Complex Systems
Regional Science
