Hi Matthew,

A quick point,

Many aspects of urban planning or other design work in large scale systems aren't necessarily the result of an explicit systems engineering process. From what I could tell, engineered was being used in the looser sense of something done with skill. I would suggest perhaps large-scale designed systems, or John's suggestion. I'll repeat in the other list as well.

Designed systems seems more apt than the more technical engineered systems...

Best,

Ali
