urbansimulation
Urban simulation, or urbansimulation, is the practice of using computational models to represent and analyze the behavior of cities and their subsystems over time. It seeks to forecast how planning policies, development patterns, and external factors affect outcomes such as transportation, land use, housing, energy demand, and the environment.
Models used in urbansimulation span several approaches. Agent-based models simulate the actions and interactions of individuals
Applications cover planning and policy analysis across housing affordability, transportation planning, energy and emissions forecasting, urban
Challenges in urbansimulation include model uncertainty, data availability and quality, privacy considerations, and the transferability of
