STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN URBAN DYNAMIC MODELS
Spatial interaction patterns in an urban region are not an isolated phenomenon per se. Their developments can only be understood as the result of changes in the key components of the urban region (housing, employment, retailing e.g.). In order to describe, explain, or even predict these developments, a dynamic systems approach focussing on trajectory over time of the urban system is desirable. The main subject of this paper is an overview of dynamic urban models and theories, with a special emphasis on structural changes within an urban system. Changes can occur as a result of developments in the key variables of the system, or as the result of changes in the parameters and relationships between system elements. In the latter case, the system is said to show structural change. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 276520. (Author/TRRL)
