Basics of Urban Modelling - Professor Sir Alan Wilson, CEO - The Alan Turing Institute

Explore the fundamentals of urban modelling in this comprehensive lecture by Professor Sir Alan Wilson, CEO of The Alan Turing Institute. Delve into the complexities of cities as nonlinear systems and learn about the challenges of modelling activities at locations and flows between locations. Discover the core concepts of spatial interaction, including equilibrium cross-section and dynamic frameworks. Examine entropy maximising flow models and Lotka-Volterra based dynamics of urban evolution. Gain insights into how these models can be applied to other types of systems beyond urban environments. Benefit from Professor Wilson's extensive experience in mathematical modelling of cities and urban planning, including his work on entropy in spatial interaction models and dynamical systems theory in urban structure evolution.
