Urban growth modelling
Urban growth models allow to predict future patterns of urbanisation. GeoVille uses the well-known STAU model developed by the Austrian Research Centres, which is based on cellular automata and spatial agents. Within the geoland project the model has been validated and operationalized by GeoVille to allow calculation of urban development scenarios up to 10 years into the future.
geoland is an FP-6 project financed by the European Commission in the frame of GMES. Within the project GeoVille is leading the Spatial Planning Observatory.
