Urban Systems (Routledge Revivals)
Contemporary Approaches to Modelling
Introduction
This edited collection, first published in 1987, provides a comparative analysis of different approaches to urban modelling, and lays the foundations for the possibility of integration and a more unified field.
Development of Urban Systems Modelling
The first part contextualises the development of the field of urban systems modelling, focusing on the variety of approaches and possible implications of this on the future of research and methodology.
Approaches Considered
Next, the editors consider economic and non-economic approaches, followed by an analysis of spatial-interaction-based approaches.
Research Overview and Conclusion
Providing an overview to the field and research literature, the overarching argument is that there should be an integrated methodological approach to urban system modelling.
