the paper "a city is not a tree" is a perfect example of the fallacy and makes a point of the complexity of systems and the fallacies in systems thinking. The parallel is very useful to illustrate the stupidity that is "smart cities" engineering (& marketing). System thinkers envision highly complex "systems of systems" as tree-like structures (in the CompSci/Mathematical sense). It applies to all systems and models of systems though.
