A DYNAMIC MODEL OF URBAN STRUCTURE
Abstract
Versions of the Time-Oriented Metropolitan Model (T.O.M.M.) discussed in the paper have served as the primary spatial-location model for two, large- scale urban simulations. Because of the incompleteness, incompatibility, and non-existence of most small-area data and the lack of time-series data, T.O.M.M. remains in the developmental stage. Although two versions have been calibrated for Pittsburgh and Lansing, the version presented is untested and describes the latest model modifications. The model is one describing the interaction of variables in an urban system. Three classes of variables are included: an exogenous employment sector, an endogenous commercial employment sector, and a household or population sector.
