Integrated Urban Models 2: New Research and Applications of Optimization and Dynamics

In this book Putman draws together the past decade's important new theoretical developments in modelling with his experience in development and application of operational integrated transportation and location models. It examines the critical but often overlooked interrelationships of theory construction and empirical analysis. Its purpose is twofold: first, bringing scholars the results of extensive testing of new theory by empirical observation and experiment and second, providing practitioners with an overview of recent work in the field, covering both theoretical and empirical results with an eye toward the prospects for practical applications. This book attempts to bridge the gap between scholars and practitioners in this field.
