A Use-Driven Approach to Large-Scale Urban Modelling and Planning Support

Abstract

Urban system simulation models are used to forecast and evaluate land-use change over space and time. Such simulation models offer planners and stakeholders an ability to view and assess the future outcomes of future policy alternatives before final decisions are made about implementation. This technology also offers the ability to improve our fundamental understanding of land-use transformation dynamics and the complex interplay between urban change and sustainable systems (Brail 2001; Deal 2001).
