We (CSIR-Transportek) have just started to research the use of Dynamic urban models (dynamic simulations of urban systems) for their potential application in South African cities. Although there are a lot of theoretical knowledge, articles and books available on these models they are often out of date and generally of a theoretical nature. In addition, few examples exist of these models being applied in South Africa (the only notable example is the attempted application of the Echenique model in Cape Town during the late 1980) We will be very interested in exchanging ideas about these models as well examples of their application. Some of the models we are currently looking at are the California Urban Futures model(CUF), EMME/2 (although the latter are more a transport modelling package), etc. We are especially interested in Universities doing research into this area as we are considering setting up graduate student/lecturer exchange programmes with leaders in this field. Please reply to the address below should you have any information on the subject.
Thank you
