We propose that the emergent phenomenon know as “desakota,” the rapid urbanization of
densely populated rural populations in the newly developed world, particularly China, can …

One popular urban growth model is the SLEUTH, created by Dr. Keith Clarke at UCSB
Geography (Clarke et al., 1996, 1997). SLEUTH is composed of a series of growth rules …

Spatial models of urban growth have the ability to play an important role in the planning
process; if not in aiding in policy decisions, then in processes such as visioning, storytelling …

Urban land use change modeling can enhance our understanding of processes and
patterns of urban growth that emerge from human-environment interactions. Cellular …

Abstract The Clarke Urban Growth Model (UGM), a cellular automaton (CA) that simulates
urban growth through time, is coupled with the Deltatron Land Use/Land Cover Model …

In urban systems modeling, there are many elaborate dynamic models based on intricate
decision processes whose simulation must be based on customized software if their space …

The SLEUTH urban growth model [1] is a cellular automata model that has been widely
applied throughout the geographic literature to examine the historic settlement patterns of …

The global urban population is expected to grow by 2.5 billion over the next three decades,
and 90% of this growth will occur in African and Asian countries. Urban expansion in these …

The SLEUTH urban growth model is a cellular automata model that has been widely used
by geographers to examine the rural to urban transition as a physical process and to …

We have adapted METRONAMICA, an established cellular automata (CA) modelling
system, to simulate the historical growth of a section of a large world city. Our model is tuned …
