点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to design a framework linking urban pattern development to changing demographics. This multi-level modelling framework for housing, job and school searches is linked to a demographics evolution module providing information about household lifestyle changes. The framework benefits from detailed behavioural models which capture inter-dependencies among household members’ decisions. This project examines the capacity of social media data to complement the existing data resources. The expected outcome is a tool for policy appraisal for city planning.
