Abstract The basic hypotheses of the Simulation City Approach is that it is possible to approximate the detailed input data base required for complex planning models, given only a relatively gross description of a specific metropolitan area and general knowledge of patterns of urban composition. This approximation is accomplished at a substantial reduction in the costs associated with data preparation and thus planning models, at relatively little expense in terms of accuracy. Accuracy is here judged in terms of the final decision to be made on the basis of planning model analyses. To the extent that the hypothesis is valid in a particular application, a decision-maker is given the opportunity to ask a range of questions at substantially reduced cost and time expense. The concept is first described in general terms, and then supported by a review of theoretical and empirical studies which would be valuable in its realization. The trade-off between cost and accuracy in modeling is then more explicitly considered.
