System thinking
Workshop
After a very successful project launch and kick-off event in June and the PhD thesis presentations in September, we met on December 5 and 6 for a workshop on system modeling. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Gebhard Wulfhorst and Prof. Dr. Hans Pretzsch, we were all given important insights into the world of theoretical modeling. Together we defined the goals of an overarching system model, determined the input and target variables and designed the first causal loop diagrams. In the end, the system model should unite all subprojects and thus disciplines of the RTG to draw a holistic picture of an urban neighborhood with green, blue and gray infrastructures.
