Designed for the student of urban simulation, this paper offers definitions of "models"--conceptual or mathematics formulations of concrete things or of abstract relations between them--and of "simulation"--an act or process, conducted either by persons or devices, by which a model or a hierarchy of models is made to imitate reality.

Little, Dennis L.; de Brigard, Raul – 1971
The Institute for the Future offered a course in urban simulation at Wesleyan University (Conn.). The course, described here, asked the class to create its own urban simulation, based on Middletown, Conn., and to play the simulation themselves. This paper describes the structure of the simulation, reviews some of its results, and illustrates the…

Summary descriptions of selected urban simulations and games that have been developed outside the Institute For The Future are presented. The operating characteristics and potential applications of each model are described. These include (1) the history of development, (2) model and player requirements, (3) a description of the environment being…
