Agent-Based Models

Agent-Based Models or Modelling, abbreviated ABM , involves developing simulations of urban structure and dynamics at the level of how individual objects which comprise such systems behave. The best example and the one that is developed in my lecture today … Continue reading

On to 21st Century Urban Simulation

Gone are the land use transportation models of the last three weeks and now come cellular automata models (lecture 7), fractal models and morphologies (lecture 8) and next week we will broach agent-based models. Click to get these two lectures. … Continue reading

Integrated Urban Models Today

Today is the third session in our five session introduction to urban modelling and simulation. This will be about land use models and how we construct them from elements of spatial interaction submodels. And I will illustrate a worked example. … Continue reading
