  • Abstract
    Forrester\´s Urban Dynamics model is examined in terms of 1) his assumptions about complex dynamic systems, 2) the a priori bias revealed using a "normalized" model, 3) equilibrium changes when the model is modified to fit urban data, and 4) policy predictions of such a modified model.
