Pidot, George B., Jr. – 1973
This gaming-simulation is designed to give undergraduate students an improved understanding of the dynamics of urban development. The players make a number of decisions representing the business, government, and residential factions of the population. Winning or losing is not the most important function of the game, but rather, interaction with…
