- This monograph broke new theoretical and methodological ground in the fields of the sociology of health and illness, public and community health, and epidemiology and computational modelling. It did so because it was one of the first in-depth, empirically-driven studies to test the idea that places and their health are best theorised in complex systems terms; and that they are best modelled using the mixed-methodological toolbox of computational modelling, network analysis, geospatial modelling, machine intelligence, data mining, and agent-based modelling, as well as such existing techniques as historiography and focus groups.
