摘要: Abstract A multi-agent model is applied to develop and asses the impact of urban forms in terms sustainability measures. The aim this understand draw conclusions concerning planner's options arrive at a plan, which reflects sustainable built environment transportation, distribution facilities, minimization pollution emission from vehicles. relationships between land-use, are key factors for developing environment. fundamental question is: What optimal city-form where equilibrium reached? Of course, no single answer can be given due many aspects come into play, such as city size, distance other cities or service centres. However each size population preferences, specific form should lead In study, we suggest that useful support tool planners assess issues their plan development. We examine plans differ main road-network. Two forms/structures considered, these “compact city” “multi-nuclear city”. land-use distributions obtained reflect road/city-form alternatives, combined with input data about people preferences. This leads possibility simulate facilities takes account predicted activity-travel patterns individuals, using an activity-based transport demand, estimated on basis comprehensive survey. analysis travel city, turn, evaluation parameters total per day, number daily trips well accessibility characteristics planned city. enables vehicles comfort accessibility. Planner heuristics incorporated calculation stages so procedure whole would realistic desirable result. presented combination theoretical simulation planner used planning actual practice. Relevant examples new master cities, major increase expected, development (neighborhood, etc).
