SustainCity - Micro-simulation for the prospective of sustainable cities in Europe

logo SustainCity

The goal of this project is to address the modelling and computational issues of integrating modern mobility simulations with the latest micro-simulation land use models. The project intends to advance the state-of-the-art in the field of the micro-simulation of prospective integrated models of Land-Use and Transport (LUTI). On the modelling side, the main challenges are to integrate a demographic evolution module, to add an environmental module, to improve the overall consistency and, last but not least, to deal with the multi-scale aspects of the problem: several time horizons and spatial resolutions are involved.

Within the project, INED will develop a demographic simulation model that will interact with the transport and land-use use models. Elisabeth Morand (SMS department) and Laurent Toulemon (UR3) are involved in this task.
