As a result, descriptive and predictive models of various levels of sophistication and using mostly agents and cellular automata are now beginning to regularly appear in the geographic literature. However, there still remains many unresolved conceptual, technical and application challenges associated with these complexity based models. This session is centered on the issues related to complexity and modeling urban dynamics.
