Nonlinear dynamic models for spatial interaction: The results of some empirical experiments

Abstract

The content of this paper is related to the field of urban dynamic modelling, which has been greatly stimulated recently by the use of nonlinear methods. Some results of the application of an S.I.A. model of this kind to the Rome metropolitan area are described here. The experiments are mainly concerned with the analysis of the effects produced on the territorial diffusion of places of residence and services by variations in the mobility of the population in relation to journeys to work and journeys to services and by variations in economies of scale of consumers. The analysis is carried out for residential location and service location separately, and for the interacting Lowry-type system.
