Book excerpt: Attempts to develop quantitative models of the spatial aspects of urban development for use as planning tools hardly antedate 1960. Since then, there have been innumerable prospectuses, many serious enterprises, and at least a few substantial accomplishments. The model-builders -- a group that overlaps but doesn't coincide with the planning profession -- claim that their brain-children have present or potential value as planning aids. One of the frustrations of the planner as client is that he doesn't usually find it easy to judge these claims or to choose among the many alternatives now available for his consideration. In this essay, the author shows how a number of these models relate to each other and to a generally accepted theory of the market for urban land. The undertaking involves some risk of misrepresentation, since only two of the specific models discussed are adequately and finally documented.

Book excerpt: In order to develop and exercise their skills urban planners need to draw upon a wide variety of methods relating to plan and policy making, urban research and policy analysis. More than ever, planners need to be able to adapt their methods to contemporary needs and circumstances. This introductory textbook focuses on the need to combine traditional research methods with policy analysis in order to understand the true nature of urban planning processes. It describes both planning methods and their underlying concepts and principles, illustrating applications by reference to the daily activities of planning, including the assessment of needs and preferences of the population, the generation and implementation of plans and policies, and the need to take decisions related to the allocation of land, population change, employment, housing and retailing. Ian Bracken also provides a comprehensive guide to the more specialized research literature and case studies of contemporary urban planning practice. This book was first published in 1981.

Download or read book Urban Systems Models written by J. William Schmidt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Systems Models provides description, optimization, and analysis of the main features of highly urbanized areas. It details and shows many models intended to aid in the study of urban problems. The book focuses mainly on land use, public facility siting, population analysis, resource allocation in congested urban settings, and transportation networks. The text aims to bridge the gap between the use of applied mathematics and techniques on urban analysis. Civil and industrial engineers, transportation and urban planners, public administrators, researchers, and students in related fields will find the book very useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport and the spatial location of population and activities have been important themes of study in engineering, social sciences and urban and regional planning for many decades. However, an integrated approach to the modelling of transport and land use has been rarely made, and common practice has been to model both phenomena independently. This book presents an introduction to the modelling of land use and transport interaction (LUTI), with a theoretical basis and a presentation of the broad state of the art. It also sets out the steps for building an operational LUTI model to provide a concrete application. The authors bring extensive experience in this cross-disciplinary field, primarily for an academic audience and for professionals seeking a thorough introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Urban Economics offers a complete and self-contained coverage of urban economics. This book analyzes the economic rationale and growth and development of cities, theory and empirical analysis of urban markets, and problems and policies of urban economies. This text is divided into inter- and intra-urban analysis. Discussions on inter-urban analysis comprise Chapters 1 to 3 that include an introduction to urban economics, economic history of urban areas, and economics of urban growth. The rest of the chapters that cover intra-urban analysis describe the theories of urban markets, empirical tests of the theories, and implications of the empirical findings for policy decisions. This publication is valuable to students with a background in economic principles.

Book excerpt: A proposal for a new way to understand cities and their design not as artifacts but as systems composed of flows and networks. In The New Science of Cities, Michael Batty suggests that to understand cities we must view them not simply as places in space but as systems of networks and flows. To understand space, he argues, we must understand flows, and to understand flows, we must understand networks—the relations between objects that compose the system of the city. Drawing on the complexity sciences, social physics, urban economics, transportation theory, regional science, and urban geography, and building on his own previous work, Batty introduces theories and methods that reveal the deep structure of how cities function. Batty presents the foundations of a new science of cities, defining flows and their networks and introducing tools that can be applied to understanding different aspects of city structure. He examines the size of cities, their internal order, the transport routes that define them, and the locations that fix these networks. He introduces methods of simulation that range from simple stochastic models to bottom-up evolutionary models to aggregate land-use transportation models. Then, using largely the same tools, he presents design and decision-making models that predict interactions and flows in future cities. These networks emphasize a notion with relevance for future research and planning: that design of cities is collective action.
