Urban Sprawl


We are exploring the dynamics of urban sprawl using models which simulate the transition from available and undeveloped land to developed.

These models are analogous to those which deal with the spread of epidemcis and we are implementing them using techniques of cellular automata (CA)


This set of pages shows you the models and set these in the wider context of the urban sprawl debate in Britain and North America

These Urban Sprawl Project Pages are designed by Mike Batty (CASA) and Paul Torrens (U of Washington)
