London's King's Cross is going through a period of major change that will help to transform the area into a distinctive part of a world city. Between 2000 and 2015 approximately £4 billion of investment will help develop the area into the largest integrated transport hub within Europe.

In light of this, the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC), in collaboration with Camden Primary Care Trust (PCT), are sponsoring an academic investigation entitled ‘Agent-Based Modelling of Pedestrian Evacuation: A Study of London’s King’s Cross Underground Station’. This research is being conducted by Christian Castle at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA, an interdisciplinary research centre within University College London). This website serves to provide further details about the study (Research Outline, Methodology, Results & Analysis, and News & Events), as well as details about the King's Cross redevelopment in general.
