Central area redevelopment simulation model

Abstract

Parry Lewis J., White C. J., Kilsby D. J. E. and Edwards D. G. (1975). A central area redevelopment simulation model, Reg. Studies 9, 395–421. A decision-based simulation of building and land use changes in the central area of an artificially constructed town, with an indication of its role in a multi-zone model to be described in a later paper. The model is used to test the implications of taxation policies on rental incomes. Its wider uses and implications are discussed.
