TY - CHAP A1 - Szczepanska, Timo A1 - Priebe, Max A1 - Schröder, Tobias T1 - Teaching the Complexity of Urban Systems with Participatory Social Simulation T2 - Advances in Social Simulation N2 - We describe how we use social simulation as a core method in a new master’s program designed to teach future leaders of urban change to deal with the complexity inherent in current societal transformations. We start by depicting the challenges with regard to cross-disciplinary knowledge integration and overcoming value-based, rigid thinking styles that inevitably arise in the process of solving ecological, technological, or social problems in cities new and old. Next, we describe a course based on urban modeling and participatory approaches, designed to meet those challenges. We reflect on our first experience with this approach and discuss future developments and research needs.
