Residential location choice: models and applications

The effective planning of residential location choices is one of the great challenges of contemporary societies and requires forecasting capabilities and the consideration of complex interdependencies which can only be handled by complex computer models. This book presents a range of approaches used to model residential locations within the context of developing land-use and transport models. These approaches illustrate the range of choices that modellers have tomake in order to represent residential choice behaviour. The models presentedin this book represent the state-of-the-art and are valuable both as key building blocks for general urban models, and as representative examples of complexity science.
