Urban Dynamics, by Jay Wright Forrester
Publisher:Pegasus Communications, Inc. (1969) | ISBN-10: 1883823390 | PDF | 8.56 Mb | 299 pages
In this controversial book, Jay Forrester presents a computer model describing the major internal forces controlling the balance of population, housing, and industry within an urban area. He then simulates the life cycle of a city and predicts the impact of proposed remedies on the system. Startling in its conclusions, this book became the basis of a major research effort that has influenced many government urban-policy decisions.
