UrbanSim Legitimation: UrbanSim is a
large simulation package for modeling patterns of urban development for
periods of twenty years or more, under different possible scenarios. A
major strand of our current work is tied to UrbanSim as a part of a
democratic urban planning process. How can we design UrbanSim to better
support its legitimacy as a part of that process? How can UrbanSim help
establish conditions for discourse about the city and its future? Our
most recent work looks at how UrbanSim's legitimacy is impacted by the
design of documentation about the system and its output, as well as
tools for selecting indicators to evaluate policy alternatives. |
