Synopsis
Attempts for the first time to move towards the building of a single integrated urban model, which brings together in one coherent whole the various different models for each of the sectors. This book should be of interest to advanced students of urban modelling.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Originally published in 1990, this work analyses the use of contemporary computer models to simulate urban systems. The work deals with the two significant traditions of model-building: firstly the building of integrated models following the seminal research of Lowry first published in 1964, but with relatively simple submodels; and secondly, intensive research on particular submodels with a variety of techniques. This volume constructs a model-building exercise which integrates the two traditions: an integrated model (in a modular form with alternative components) using the most advanced submodels. The book concludes with a presentation of an example of an operational model of this type.
