Abstract: Abstract The objective of this chapter is the presentation of an archetypal urban model as a platform for exploring the conceptual, mathematical and computational challenges which face the modelling community. The model chosen is that which represents retail flows and structures in cities. This can also be seen as an archetype of complex spatial systems and a subsidiary objective is to show how regional science can be connected to complexity theory.
