An agent-based model to simulate the development of industrial parks in an urban network

Abstract

The main purpose of this abstract is to briefly describe the work developed until now under the PhD thesis entitled “An agent-based model to simulate the development of industrial parks in an urban network”. The goal of this research is to construct an agent-based model to simulate the behaviour of industrial parks in the urban network knew by “Urban Quadrilateral”, which is composed by the Portuguese municipalities of Barcelos, Braga, Famalicão and Guimarães.
