Urban Dynamics: Applications as a Teaching Tool and as an Urban Game

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1972
With some modifications Forrester's characterization of an urban system can be used in several ways in a curriculum such as that in the School of Urban and Public Affairs at Carnegie-Mellon University. The model can be expanded to comprehend several neighborhoods, and then used either in the way a laboratory experience is used as an adjunct to a ...

Is Urban Gaming Simulation Useful?

Simulation & Gaming, 2001
The authors discuss epistemological, theoretical, and practical reasons for the crisis of gaming simulation in urban studies. The enormous successes obtained by hard sciences (particularly physics) in interpreting and changing the world have driven many scholars of the so-called soft sciences to believe that the methods and tools that had proved so ...

The Urban Network Game: A Simulation of the Future of Joint City Interests

2005
In a thriving, densely populated and urbanized country like the Netherlands, space is at a premium.

Gaming Simulation for Urban Planning

Journal of the American Institute of Planners, 1966
Abstract Simulations are designed to cope with the new complexities of metropolitan planning. If the essential policies deal with the quality of services, and the range of considerations is imperfectly known, a gaming model will be the more informative kind of model.

Mobile@game cultures: The place of urban mobile gaming

Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies, 2011
As we look over the last decade, the obvious shifts that can be gleaned are the erosions of once distinct categories such as ‘hardcore’ versus ‘casual’ gamer. Instead, we have witnessed an inversion whereby mobile games, once categorized as ‘casual’, became ‘serious’ and now casual again.
