Simulation of urban spatial dynamics
Research programs
The first program deals with a modelling of residential spatial dynamics based on enlarged cellular automata. The dynamics of the system is modelled through general fuzzy rules, which translate types of residential choice behaviours. Processes generating the evolution of urban pattern should integrate results from morphologic analyses of urban patterns.
The second program is a cooperation with the architect and town planner E. Wolf (Potsdam, Germany). The goal of the program is the evaluation of social and economic impacts of planning projects on the basis of cartographic representations of scenarii. A decision making tool will be developed, which directly takes into account emerging social demand and which should allow the simulation of scenarii based on:
- general knowledge on location choice behaviours (households and firms)
- a survey.
