Like its companion volume, "Changing Stocks, Flows and Behaviors in Industrial Ecosystems", this book covers both basic and advanced analytical concepts and tools to explore the dynamics of industrial ecosystems. The contributors to this volume concentrate specifically on regions and networks. Each of the book's three parts contains an introduction by a leader in the field, as well as chapters ranging from conceptual models to case study applications. The first part offers an introduction to the main themes and issues surrounding regional and networked industrial ecosystems. The subsequent two parts broaden and deepen the discussion with emphasis on the regional and network characters relevant for analysis and management. The scale of issues ranges from buildings to regions to entire nations, with methods that range from input-output analysis to computer-assisted simulation games.
