Abstract

More than many or even most other cities in Germany, Munich has developed and adopted methods of systems analysis (in the broad sense of the term) in urban planning (Wegener, this volume). The former “Stadtentwicklungsreferat”, emerging (1970) from a planning body which was initiated for the planning of investments of the City in general, and of the public aspects of the 1972 Olympic Games in particular, undertook first steps in the direction of systems analysis in the early years of its existence. An urban information and planning system (KOMPAS, see below) was developed. Although there was some work and reflection on large scale urban models of Forrester’s “Urban Dynamics” type, and some effort to develop a municipal housing model, it took until about 1975 to develop and introduce computerized models as well as other fairly formalized methods of systems analysis for different parts of the urban system, covering most urban sub-systems, at least to some degree.
