This book is devoted to the application of genetic algorithms in continuous global optimization. Some of their properties and behavior are highlighted and formally justified. Various optimization techniques and their taxonomy are the background for detailed discussion. The nature of continuous genetic search is explained by studying the dynamics of probabilistic measure, which is utilized to create subsequent populations. This approach shows that genetic algorithms can be used to extract some areas of the search domain more effectively than to find isolated local minima. The biological metaphor of such behavior is the whole population surviving by rapid exploration of new regions of feeding rather than caring for a single individual. One group of strategies that can make use of this property are two-phase global optimization methods. In the first phase the central parts of the basins of attraction are distinguished by genetic population analysis. Afterwards, the minimizers are found by convex optimization methods executed in parallel.

Urban planning is not a linear process. Many interests, above all financial ones, determine the development of cities. Sometimes planning is legitimised by official designations, sometimes it is in opposition to the needs of citizens. Strategic planning considers all relevant factors in the social and economic fabric of the city as well as its ecology. Controlling a city’s growth is a major challenge, as demonstrated by various examples in this issue: Rio de Janeiro as the host of two major sports events, Detroit as a city of transformation and Kiruna, a mining city which is due to be relocated
