A Cellular Automata Model to Simulate Development Density for Urban Planning

摘要: Most cellular automata (CA) urban models assume densities to be uniform for all cells. This is not true in real cities because vary substantially from city and center periphery areas. Development density, which affects form, an important factor planning. The authors present a CA model that incorporates density gradient the simulation of development different forms. obtained density-decay functions assigned cells when they are converted into developed according transition rules. model, based on concept ‘grey cells’, can used as planning explore various combinations forms densities. also evaluate compare patterns generated by gradients. It found scenarios with high-density significantly reduce encroachment agricultural land other ...
