CITY III, a computer-assisted simulation model to be used in the study of complex interactions and consequences of public and private decision-making in an urban setting, is described in this report. The users of the model, with the help of a computer, become public and private decision-makers in a simulated city and, by interacting with one…

By consolidating effort with the judicious use of computers, systems analysis can provide better analysis out of an equivalent effort. Comprehensive planning…
