Urban Sustainability Modelling: Foundations and Future Agenda for Cellular Automata and Agent-Based Approaches
报告简介
The pursuit of sustainable urban development demands advanced computational tools capable of simulating the complex interplay between urban spatial dynamics and human decision-making behaviors. This seminar explores the complementary roles of Cellular Automata (CA) and Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) as powerful frameworks for urban scenario planning and sustainability analysis. I will first introduce the foundational principles of CA and an integrated CA-ABM approach, illustrating through empirical studies how CA models are developed to simulate land-use change and urban spatial dynamics, while ABM captures the decision-making behaviors of individual agents such as developers, planners, and residents. Together, these approaches provide a robust platform for exploring alternative urban futures. I will then discuss contemporary challenges facing the urban modeling community, including issues of data integration, model calibration, validation, and computational scalability. Finally, I will outline a critical future research agenda requiring concerted attention. I conclude by advocating for the development of next-generation cellular automata that embed agent-based rules and leverage big data as the most promising pathway for strengthening our capacity to inform and achieve sustainable urban development.
