Effective urban planning requires robust “What if?” forecasting tools to analyse the causal effects and simulate potential development pathways. Structured decision-support tools are essential for managing the intricate relationship between transport and land-use. Addressing these challenges necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the system and the joint development of its inter-related sub-systems with their feedback loops. To this aim, an alternative strategic approach to simultaneous land-use and transport modelling, leveraging system dynamics simulation approach is a smart move. This framework captures the interactions and long-term feedback mechanisms between the two systems at an aggregate level. It is particularly advantageous for efficiently evaluating various policies and their combinations over multi-year horizons.
