URBAN SYSTEMS RESEARCH REPORT OF THE FIRST BINATIONAL (U. S./AUSTRALIAN) URBAN SYSTEMS SYMPOSIUM

摘要

In June, 1974 the First Binational (U.S./Australian) Symposium on Urban Systems Research was held in Washington, D.C. There was 29 presentations made by experts from the two countries. These covered such areas as (1) land use models (Lowry-type, NBER, PLUM, EMPIRIC, the Direct Trip Allocation Model, System Dynamics), (2) growth allocation techniques, (3) growth management, (4) the experience of practitioners with models, (5) urban problems and practices in developing countries, (6) the United Nations' Habitat '76 Program, (7) organizing government, (8) community involvement, (9) gaming, (10) land use law, and (11) national growth policies. It was concluded from the symposium that much more work needs to be done in urban modeling, especially because of rapid changes in uncontrollable, external factors.
