But city as a metaphor and a model is more than that. Based on a city’s potentials and characteristics as a topological and spatial model representing complex information and processes, the thesis outlines proc-esses of information and knowledge transfers in city games as they are found in situation specific and problem-oriented game and action scenar-ios. In addition, the study assumes complex action scenarios according to cognitive psychology. The main part of the thesis analyses a computer based city game that, in contrast to the sporadic use of city simulations in school lessons, has been developed and applied to increase the interest and participation of children and youth in city planning processes. The study investigates into impacts, limitations and prospects of this method from the perspective of cognitive learning approaches, such as action-oriented learning and theories of situated cognition, and evaluates self-collected data.
