מְעוּדכָּן:
Geoffrey Brian West (born 15 December 1940) is a British theoretical physicist, former president and distinguished professor of the Santa Fe Institute. He is one of the leading scientists working on a scientific model of cities. Among other things his work states that with the doubling of a city's size, salaries per capita will generally increase by 15%.
The closer you look, the longer it gets: The Coastline Paradox
When you want to measure something you take your ruler or tape measure and read off the length right?
But when it comes to measuring the length of a coastline, things get a bit tricky and totally counter intuitive. 🌊
The science and maths of measuring wiggly coastlines reveal that the smaller the …
The Problem With Scale: What Growing Too Big Does to Work | Geoffrey West
Geoffrey West didn’t set out to explain work. He was a physicist trying to understand why living things grow, age, and die. But when his questions expanded into biology, cities, and organizations, they offered a way to think about why growth changes how organizations behave and why success often b…
How to Predict the 2026 Intermodal Rebound with IANA's Andrew Sibold
In "How to Predict the 2026 Intermodal Rebound with IANA's Andrew Sibold" Joe Lynch and Andrew Sibold, Director of Economics and Freight Policy at the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA), discuss how IANA's new predictive Intermodal Volume Index (IVI) helps logistics leaders navigate sh…
Complexity, Scaling Laws & the Future of Humanity | Prof. Geoffrey West
In this episode, Professor Geoffrey West and I explore complexity, scaling laws, cities, biology, and the future of humanity. We discuss what makes a system “complex” rather than simple and why physics can describe so much of the universe through elegant equations, yet still struggles to capture t…

Cities Growing Faster Than Exponential | Geoffrey West
Geoffrey West on urban populations growing faster than exponential, and the strange present in which some cities cannot build housing fast enough while others are already contracting.
He calls the far side of that growth a singularity: depopulation, contraction, and possibly collapse. The short-…

Geoffrey West: Urban Scaling Laws and the Future of Cities (470)
Geoffrey West, theoretical physicist and distinguished professor at the Santa Fe Institute, on urban scaling laws,cities that grow faster than exponential, and what happens when populations start to shrink. He treats the future of cities as the future of the planet. Cities drive resource use and c…
