Bottom up urban simulation ICSSC 2011

This paper aims at showing the importance of computational tools for urban planning as cities are complex systems. It proposes different innovative methods to solve traditional problems in simulation. To collect the data we propose to use an interactive serious game to obtain the data from citizens as recently used by MNC for marketing. To deal with complexity, we propose an open integrated trans disciplinary scientific approach, Finally, global gradualism is proposed as a method to provide realism, robustness and adaptability to the simulation tool.
