ABSTRACT

This chapter presents about Boltzmann's methods have to be combined with in the urban and regional context, but the similarities are such that it is appropriate to characterise these modelling approaches to dynamics as BLV models are Boltzmann, Lotka and Volterra. The chapter presents the core analysis and explores the dynamics in more detail, using advanced visualisation techniques. It examines the dynamics of a comprehensive model through a development of the Lowry model. The conventional retail model was first presented in its dynamic form by Harris and Wilson. To illustrate the argument, Boltzmann, Lotka and Volterra construct an aggregate demonstration retail model using London data. A spatial interaction model can be built by maximising an entropy function in the usual way to give where to ensure that and where logWj, is taken as the measure of consumer benefits and X an estimate of the total benefits achieved.
