Public Works Management & Policy, 2000
The vulnerability of urban populations to crises, poor urban decision making, or terrorism means that city stability is a national security issue. And as cities continue to grow, their components are becoming increasingly intertwined, forcing public works officials to treat urban systems as a “system of systems.” The Urban Security Initiative is an ...

Modeling a city poses a number of problems to computer graphics. Every urban area has a transportation network that follows population and environmental influences, and often a superimposed pattern plan. The buildings appearances follow historical, aesthetic and statutory rules.

A productivity model of city crowdedness [PDF]
Journal of Urban Economics, 2006 Abstract Population density varies widely across US cities. A simple, static general equilibrium model suggests that moderate-sized differences in cities' total factor productivity can account for such variation. Nevertheless, the productivity required to sustain above-average population densities considerably exceeds estimates of the increase in ...

"A Simple Model of City Crowdedness" [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2004 Population density varies widely across U.S. cities. A calibrated general equilibrium model in which productivity and quality-of-life differ across locations can account for such variation. Individuals derive utility from consumption of a traded good, a nontraded good, leisure, and quality-of-life.

ABSTRACT Questions in the philosophy of the city are often approached first by modeling the city. I explain what models are and work through some examples to offer a rational reconstruction of how they are used by urban theorists and philosophers. Of special note is the influence modeling choices have on our conclusions about the city,
