summary |
The availability of large scale computer urban models promises to radically improve the effectiveness of urban design policy-making and development control. A key question in the implementation of such models is how the balance between abstraction, accuracy and realism influences the effectiveness of their use. This paper discusses and illustrates the issues involved, with a computer model of the City of Adelaide as example. |
