Abstract
My fundamental premise is that reaching focused disagreements and then explaining them is fundamental to crafting research agendas and to using urban and environmental models. We should seek neither one integrated research agenda nor one integrated model. We should, instead, create computer modeling environments in which disagreements can emerge and be used to advance knowledge and be used to solve problems. The first use is a way to organize research about land use, environment, and the use of models. The second use is a way to decide what to do in specific situations—to apply the knowledge and models. We should view models and computing tools as additional participants in conversations—interactions about discovering and using knowledge.
