    Street attractiveness enables change to a city structure
    (International Research Conference on Smart Computing and Systems Engineering - SCSE 2018, 2018) Kurahashi, S.; Nagai, H.
    The study proposes an agent-based model for urban dynamics, combining locating of a facility for stopping off and measures to promote street attractiveness. The model expresses simplified urban dynamics. It also enables to verify how policies affect the daily travel of urban residents and indirectly change an urban structure towards a desirable formation. As a result, the model clarified that the policy of street attractiveness affected compactification of an urban structure physically and a significant decrease of car users along with CO2 reduction. Use of this model, reveals significant differences of improvement effects on an urban structure depending on the locations of the facility, the implementation scale of each promotional measure around the facility, and demonstrates the synergy effects of the policy on transportation.
