Urban Spatial Evolution Simulation

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the LUTI model from many aspects such as principles, methods and practice. Since the geometric revolution in the 1960s, model simulation methods have been used in some developed countries to study the development process of urban space and to support urban spatial decision making. One of the most common models is the Land Use Transport Interaction (LUTI) model. At present, relevant research is also gradually emerging in developing countries.

This book has the following features: 1. The theory and methods of urban spatial development simulation have been systematically summarised, and practical application research has been carried out. 2. The LUTI model has been systematically explored from theory and implementation method to application practice. 3. The "activity-based" modelling techniques used are at the forefront of LUTI model development.
