Our first project is modelling the main factors and forces that describe
the city growth process. Has anyone a good model of this?

Dear Gustav:
we made a number of math models of cities
You can have them from DGXII of the Eur Commission in Brussells. The study
was called ACT-VILL and our group is ISIS.
If you have trouble locsting the stuff I can send you an abstract and
possibly the goods

The given starting point would of course be Urban Dynamics by Jay
Forrester.
Good luck,
