New Town simulation
SeminarThe International New Town Institute will organise its second seminar in the new town of Almere on October 11-12, 2007. The theme of the seminar is ‘New Town Simulation’. Nowadays a lot of decisions are being made based upon simulation models, from traffic engineering to economy, towards multi-actor models, improving the planning processes. Additionally, within the field of urban design and planning itself, a number of interesting modelling approaches have emerged.
This seminar will give an overview of several relevant simulation approaches in relation to new towns. By discussing these, we expect to foster an interdisciplinary debate, aiming at strengthening the research agenda, focusing both on research and education.
The seminar will serve as an introduction to the participants to New Town Simulation, through lectures given by members of established scientific institutes of related studies. This opens up the opportunity to discuss what may be the role of New Town Simulation in an international perspective of urbanization with some three billion new city-dwellers in the next 25 years.
