Abstract

Urban Dynamics is a field of study which applies mathematical modelling techniques to the system of a city in order to quantitatively represent and analyse its progression over time. The simulation of this model allows stakeholders in the city to investigate the interactions of the city's components and the consequences of decisions on the city's advancement. This project builds upon established research in this field by creating a software system that simulates an interactive Urban Dynamics Model, and presenting it as a learning tool in the form of an educational game. User's decisions drive the simulation, affecting the game's outcome, with the city either prospering or declining.
