The world is urbanising: huge cities are being created and are continuing to grow rapidly. There are many planning and development issues arising in different manifestations in countries across the globe. These developments can, in principle, be simulated through mathematical computer models which provide tools for forecasting and testing future scenarios and plans. These models can represent the functioning of cities and regions, predicting the spatial demography and the economy, the main flows such as journey to work or to services, and the mechanisms of future evolution. In this book, the main principles involved in the design of this range of models are articulated, providing an account of the current state of the art as well as future research challenges..Alan Wilson has over forty years working with urban and regional models and has contributed important discoveries. He has distilled this experience into what serves as both an introduction and a review of the research frontier. Topics covered include the Lowry model, the retail model, principles of account-based models and the methods rooted in Bolt | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | ‘DNA‘ and typologies of cities; Alonso-Herbert-Stevens-Senior-Wilson; Cities and regions; Complex syste | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-2266-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-2265-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-2266-8Series ISSN 2211-4165 Series E-ISSN 2211-4173 | issn_series | 2211-4165 | copyright | The Author(s) 2012 |
