Abstract
More than half of the world population lives in urban areas.
Urbanites are estimated to grow up to 68% of the population
by 2050 [1]. This rapid growth requires new contributions from
researchers and policy-makers to the development of the future
city. Again, understanding how the city will grow is a crucial
step in guiding this process towards the best outcome.
Cities are highly complex systems that traditional urban dynamic
simulations cannot grasp in their totality, if solved only
in a lightly coupled way. In addition, a model is useful only if
it can be used in the planning and management practice [2]. It’s
true that, driven by the urge to improve their models, different
sectors are developing multi-layered integrated simulations.
Nevertheless, a wider scope of considering the city in its
holistic behaviour is missing. Indeed, management, social, and
technical barriers restrain the adoption of integrated models,
such as ‘model complexity, user friendliness, administrative
fragmentation and communication’ [3].
