Description
SCALE
Geoffrey West’s research explores unifying principles and patterns connecting everything from cells and ecosystems to cities, social networks, and businesses. SCALE reveals how organisms and ecosystems change with size in remarkably universal and systematic ways.
Why do living systems SCALE with size? Is there a maximum size for cities, animals, plants, or companies? Can SCALE help us understand how to create a more sustainable future?
By applying the rigour of physics to biology, Geoffrey West discovered that despite the extraordinary diversity of mammals, they are, to a large degree, scaled versions of one another. His research reveals insights into lifespan, metabolism, sleep, cities, and businesses, showing how complex systems may follow surprisingly simple and universal principles.

About the Author
Author
Geoffrey West
Geoffrey West is a theoretical physicist and a leading researcher in the study of complex systems. His work explores the fundamental principles and mathematical patterns that connect seemingly different systems, from living organisms and ecosystems to cities, companies, and social networks. West is particularly known for his research on scaling laws—the ways in which the characteristics of a system change as its size increases. His research has revealed remarkable similarities between biological and human-made systems, providing new ways to understand growth, development, innovation, and sustainability.
