These actions tested by simulating decisions existing firms. The parameters these simulations estimated with discrete choice model using data cantons St.Gallen both Appenzell well Zurich. other aims provide an approach implement models UrbanSim. UrbanSim is software-based simulation system supporting planning analysis urban development, incorporating interactions land use, transportation, economy, environment. At moment, adapted European context (see according research project SustainCity, www.sustaincity.eu).
