Urban cybernotopics: Topographical complexity

Abstract

Based on the conquest of the forces of nature, Western European civilisation is technogenic. But extensive development of the planet becomes exhausted, and a new view of the interaction between nature and society is needed. The original cosmism of ancient thought and the works of outstanding Russian scientific cosmists can be the basis of urban cybernotopics – a new scientific direction that creates an image of the future based on the study of the mechanisms of multidimensional ‘embeddedness’ of the activity of human society in socio-economic and landscape systems. The article considers cybernotopics in the perspective of topographical complexity on the example of rural territory.
