This book introduces a planning support system called Strategic Spatial Plan Support System (SSP-SS) to visualize population growth and predict energy demand, land use, and waste discharge resulting from urbanization. By analyzing policy interactions between household agents, the book uses SSP-SS to visualize policy effects on urban areas during stages of growth and decline. Simulations are created based on these policy outcome assessments, taking into account the influences of energy and resource consumption on sustainable development in urban environments. The book is geared towards researchers, universities, and urban policy makers.The book begins by presenting a framework of urban growth simulation, and introducing SSP-SS. Then, household lifecycle and relocation models are employed for simulating policy impacts on urbanization, and investigating the impacts of spatial strategic planning. Several projects are assessed using agent-based modeling including shopping centre construction, day-care service for aging populations, and shelter accommodation capacities for earthquakes and other disasters. The final chapters discuss water and energy management, the environmental impacts of demand and consumption, and future recommendations for sustainable development and policy implementation.Introduces Strategic Spatial Plan Support System (SSP-SS) to visualize population growth and predict energy demand, land use, and waste discharge resulting from urbanization.Analyzes policy effects on urban areas during stages of growth and decline.Discusses the influences of water and gas consumption on environmental issues in urban areas for sustainable development.

This volume presents case studies of the application of Geotechnology such as Geoinformation system, virtual reality and cellular automaton and multi-agent system in the field of urban planning and design. These are joint research presentations with students and colleagues from Kanazawa University. All these case studies are about the application in either Japanese or Chinese cities, which are on the field examples reflecting widespread geocomputation technology. Nevertheless, the concepts have wide applicability to other contexts. The cases can be classified into three types of geotechnological applications on different levels of urban spaces, which are relevant to different kinds of urban planning and development projects. The main focus of this book is comprised of three parts: 1. Geosimulation and land use plan (at the level of urban and regional area, land use plan).- 2. GeoVisualization and urban design (at the level of urban partitions, urban design of street furniture, townscape and public parks.-3. Geography Information System and planning support (concerning development and planning support tools based on GIS platform.

This book describes a comprehensive framework of novel simulation approaches, conventional urban models, and related data mining techniques that will help develop planning support systems in Beijing as well as other mega-metropolitan areas.
