Abstract

In this review paper, urban development modeling is considered as a branch of empirical allocation analysis relying on the concept of markets. With reference to recent research, the introduction of essential methodic approaches such as techniques of microsimulation and different sources of dynamic theory is discussed. A critical evaluation of selected aspects of urban simulation modeling concentrates on the analysis of markets (transport, housing), the incorporation of material infrastructure (land use-transportation interrelationships), and the consideration of location decisions (residential choice, basic employment location) as dual counterparts of the associated allocation problems. Concluding remarks deal with future prospects of urban development modeling.
