REGENERATING RUN-DOWN PUBLIC HOUSING

Post by "Jaideep Mukherjee" »

Have you checked Louis Alfelds Introduction to Urban Dynamics? He starts
from VERY simple models, beautifully explained, and then expands them to
urban models of much larger complexity. A few months back similar topics
were heavily discussed here on the list - please try keyword searches (e.g.
"urban dynamics", "urban decay", "public housing", "quality of life", etc
etc.) on my site at
www.optimlator.com and you will find the corresponding
sorted postings. The "books" section there also points to this and similar
books. Life expectancy in the Limits to Growth population module may be used
as a proxy for Quality of Life - many software packages contain this model -
check links to demos for these packages from the "software" section. You can
reuse/prune
efine parts of this and other models for your purpose. Hope all
this helps, else email separately and I will try to help.
