Pre-assessment of Metropolitan Areas’ Smart Growth through Agent Based Modelling
2016
Abstract Smart Growth (SG) is an approach for sustainable urban development, it emerged to restrain the drawbacks of Metropolitan Areas’ urban sprawl. This approach enhances social equity and environmental justice through policies covering micro and macro levels, in addition, it discusses sustainability aspects. However, there are few attempts that simulate the effect of applying principles of SG on emergent behaviour within different context. This study aims at initiating a platform for building a SG Agent Based Model SGABM which focuses on the social behaviour, in order to assist in management of growth dynamics and build an information database for Urban Facility Management. The paper reviews literature and undergoes an application on Walkability principle.
