Evacuation Model 2.0

I'm working on implementing the simple evacuation model (which I posted about earlier) in AnyLogic. I think I'll be able to post a working version on this site.

Update soon...



In other news, A friend passed along this article from Seed Magazine. Check it out if you're in for a good discussion piece on the limits of urban growth/ecological resilience - and how that might affect all things economic and social.

Questions of green space and optimal urban density are just the beginning. Can the world’s mega-cities keep growing? Are other patterns of urban growth preferable? Urbanization is inevitable, but can it be directed so that cities can be harnessed as generators of innovation, and core contributors to future sustainability? As scientists make headway on these macro-issues, can they develop tools to help decision-makers build for social, economic, and ecological resilience?
